French Breakfast Puffs

Long time no post. I have been cooking/baking and taking the pictures to post, but never made the time to post it all. So I am back on it. Im going through the pictures I have and find the recipe that goes with it. Some are good and some are just Ok. I found this French Breakfast Puff recipe on My Tasty Treasures site and had to make them. Mine don't look as pretty as her's and I think they needed a little more work on my end. I wasn't overly excited at the taste and having to dip/brush butter on them to get the cinn/sugar to stick. I think a few more times making and it could be perfected on my end.
