Cook's Notes

“The recipe calls for the normal size muffins and makes two dozen. Large muffin cups yields 12 muffins. You can even uses mini muffin pans for smaller bite-size puffs. Can be baked ahead, placed in plastic bag and then heated when needed. Can also be baked ahead, frozen, and put in refrigerator the night before, then heated in the microwave.”
