Cinnamon Puffs

From SERENDIPITY BED AND BREAKFAST

This muffin recipe has always been a guest favorite but I never had a really good name for the muffin. One morning I served this to a guest. When I came back to clear his plate, he was exclaiming over the muffin. He said that this was just like a muffin that his mother (who had passed away) used to make. He was going to visit his sister later that day. The next morning he was still talking about this muffin and said he had told his sister that he had eaten a muffin “just like Mom’s”. His mother called the muffin Cinnamon Puff. I like that name and adopted it for my recipe!
