French Puff Muffins

This is my friend Cheryl's recipe; I'm not even really sure that she ever called them "French Puff Muffins" but that's the name I always used when referring to them. (Cheryl, Amy & I were all roommates during/after college & would always make birthday breakfast on each other's bdays; these were a favorite request of mine...that's a side note, I know, but the sentimentality probably makes them taste better! :))
