French Breakfast Puff

Ahhhh... How could I ever forget about the French Breakfast Puff?! I learned how to make these in my 6th grade Home Economic Class. Actually it’s the first thing I learned how to make ever. And hey, if my 11-year self could make these then surely anyone can.

Soft, sweet, and delicate pastry perfectly pared with a nice cup of coffee or tea. Quick and easy to whip together with simple staple ingredients sure to please.  Make these for breakfast ASAP! J
