Swedish Breakfast Puffs
Swedish Breakfast Puffs are warm and airy with a crisp coating of buttery cardamom sugar. Morning magic.
Servings: 7 -8
Equipment
- muffin pan
Ingredients
dry ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, measure with the fluff/scoop/level method. Never scoop flour directly from a bag!
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground mace or nutmeg*
wet ingredients
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil, you can also use melted butter.
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
cardamom sugar coating
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and butter 8 cups of your muffin pan.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients to get them well combined.
- In a smaller bowl whisk the wet ingredients together, making sure to get the egg well broken up.
- Add the wet to the dry and fold together just until combined and no dry flour is left.
- Scoop the batter evenly into 7-8 buttered muffins cups.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes** or until risen and starting to turn golden just around the edges (the muffin tops will still be pale.)
cardamom sugar coating
- While the muffins bake toss the 1 cup sugar with the 1 1/2 tsp ground cardamom and mix until completely combined. Put the melted butter in a small bowl.
- Give the muffins a couple of minutes to cool, but while they are still quite hot dip the tops of each one, headfirst, into the melted butter, then shower liberally with the cardamom sugar. I sprinkle it over the tops first, them roll the sides in the sugar as well. If the sugar melts into the top add a second coat.
Notes
*Mace is the lacy coating of the nutmeg seed. They have similar flavors, but lately I've been enjoying using mace for a subtle change. It's a little lighter and brighter in flavor.
**These puffs are small, so little variations in pan type and exact oven temperature can make a difference in your baking time. Check on the early side, especially if your oven runs hot.
