Recipe Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, salt, and yeast, blending them together until well incorporated.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, and 1/3 cup of margarine or butter until the mixture is very warm.
- Add the warm liquid and egg to the flour mixture, blending at low speed until moistened and thoroughly combined.
- Stir in an additional 2 to 2 1/4 cups of flour until the dough pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead in 1/2 to 3/4 cups of flour until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, approximately 5 minutes.
- Place the dough in a large, well-greased bowl, covering it loosely with plastic wrap and a cloth towel.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, which typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes.
- Generously grease 24 muffin cups in preparation for the next steps.
- Punch down the dough several times to remove any air bubbles that may have formed.
- Divide the dough in half, then roll each half into a 12-inch by 9-inch rectangle.
- Cut each half into twelve 3-inch squares to prepare for wrapping the marshmallows.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon, ensuring they are thoroughly blended.
- Dip each marshmallow into melted margarine or butter, followed by rolling them in the sugar-cinnamon mixture until evenly coated.
- Place each marshmallow in the center of a dough square, then bring the corners of the dough square up and around the marshmallow to completely seal it.
- Arrange the filled dough squares seam side down in the prepared muffin cups.
- Cover the muffin cups and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, which typically takes about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) in preparation for baking.
- Bake the puffs for approximately 20 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown color.
- Remove the puffs from the muffin cups immediately after baking.
- Brush the tops of the puffs with melted butter and dip them in sugar for an added touch of sweetness.
- Serve the Marshmallow Puffs warm or cold, delighting in their fluffy texture and irresistible cinnamon flavor.
