Puffets

 

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 cup snipped dried tart cherries
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, the 1 tablespoon sugar, and the salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside. In a small bowl combine the egg, the milk, and the 3 tablespoons melted butter. Add to the flour mixture along with the cherries. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Divide batter among 12 greased 2 1/2 inch muffin cups. Bake about 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Remove from pans. Brush tops of warm puffets with the 2 tablespoons melted butter. Dip tops in a mixture of the 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Serve warm. Makes 12 puffets.
