Got this one off of www.hub-uk.com and tried finally for breakfast Sunday morning. They were great...

1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

The dipping is best warm, but I think air tight container and a slight warm up would work. If they are dipped they do not do as well "rewarmed" as I found out for breakfast today.

So, what if they were held warm, and dipped at the last minute? I'm thinking of how they could be held on the line. Thx!

That would work in my un-Pastry Chef mind. I would say a semi-moist warm hold would work the best.

I was hoping you'd say that!! I think this would be really easy to put together at 7:am for service. I can hold them warm no problem. I think it would be a great side to impress folks with, as they wouldn't be expecting it. Just a little something extra. Better still, I made and froze Maple Butter when I was there. I'm thinking melt and dip??? Oh my!!!!

These sound REALLY good! Copied and saved for a nice Saturday or Sunday brunch when things calm down. I'm thinking it would make a great Mother's Day brunch. MMMM!

Oh these sound so good and wonderful for a weekend brunch. You know, a nice quiche, fresh fruit, mini french bread breakfast puffs... and a bloody mary, or other lovely brunch cocktail.
