I've been making this recipe for years. I usually add nutmeg to both the muffins and the topping. They are fantastic!

I omitted the rolling the puffs in butter part at the end. I just put cinnamon sugar on the tops of the puffs and then put them in the oven. They came out with the perfect cinnamon sugar taste - no butter needed at the end!
