These were just great. I made them into mins. I got 27 minis out of a batch. I baked them for 15 minutes. I also used butter instead of Crisco b/c I never have crisco on hand. I did have to increase the cinnamon sugar mixture in order to cover all of the puffs. I rolled each mini puff completely in the butter and then rolled the whole thing in the cinnamon sugar. They are the best when they are fresh but they are still edible the next day. They taste like little cinnamon sugar cake doughnut holes.

These are fabulous Kit. Even though I majorly screwed up the topping by mixing all the ingredients together before going back and reading I was suppose to dip in butter first and then sprinkle. So, I went ahead and used the topping somewhat like frosting or a drizzle. Still wonderful. These are best right from the oven of course. Thanks alot for posting this fabulous cinnamonny recipe for me to tag for the April Spice of the Month....CINNAMON!!
