The second recipe honoring my mom is her cheese puffs (Kolwyntjies in Afrikaans). It is sort of like a no fuss savory muffin, using very few ingredients, it is something that can be whipped up in no time and delicious as well. It brings back very fond memories from my childhood. It was always a very special treat when my mom made these for us on lazy weekend mornings for a quick and yummy breakfast or brunch. Served with some extra grated cheese and lots of butter and even a blob of your favourite jam.
