Hi Ladies,
   Today I'm in the mood to give you a recipe.  The thought just keeps coming to me.  It's a recipe for one of those days when you are having friends over for a cup to tea, or coffee, or hot chocolate or whatever.   This recipe tastes good even with ice cold lemonade or ice tea!
  "...Seek to show hospitality."  Romans 12:13

   I call the recipe:  Jan's French Pastry Puffs  (Though Jan would tell you she got the recipe out of a Betty Crocker cookbook)  Jan is an older friend who pointed me to this recipe many years ago when I was a young mom wondering what to serve guests.

Jan's French Pastry Puffs
1/3 c. shortening
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
Mix these ingredients together.

1/4 t. nutmeg
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 t. baking powder
Mix together and add alternately to the sugar mixture with 1/2 c. milk.

Put into 12-15 medium size muffin cups.
Bake 20-25 minutes at 350*.
After cooking, dip each muffin top in 1/2 c. melted butter and then roll in 1/2 c. sugar mixed with 1 t. cinnamon.

Note:  These can be cooked in mini muffin pans for 11-13 minutes if you want to share them at a larger tea.

Enjoy your day and sharing the love of the Lord with someone today!
