Hi all ~

In the mid-1960's, my sister Ro found a recipe for simple-to-make but delicous muffins called Paris Puffins. She made them by the millions, then went off to college. We lost the recipe and forgot how they were made. I've had no success in tracking down any information about them as we can't even remember which product we routinely bought that had the recipe enclosed.

Has anyone else heard of them and have any suggestions on finding out about them or glory be, actually have the recipe?

Thanks!
Merme

Gardenmom, You Are The Best! [thumb] [thumb]

How did you figure it out??! I've been searching for years for that recipe because I want to write it out in calligraphy on fancy paper and give it to my sister, perhaps framed or done in decoupage. She will love having that tasty childhood treat brought back to her again! And now I can't wait to make them for my house!

ThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyou!

It may only be one of those quirky things of childhood memory, but I believe these are really GOOD! Haven't eaten one since 1970, but even so, I'd recommend you try them out. Ro used to whip them up in no time at all and us kids loved them.

Your brain is AMAZING! [thumb]
