fuffle

Fuffle is a term that can refer to several different things, most commonly a type of confection or a colloquial expression. As a confection, fuffle is often associated with baked goods, particularly small cakes or cookies. These treats are typically soft, sometimes with a slightly chewy texture, and can be flavored with various ingredients such as chocolate, vanilla, or fruit. Recipes for fuffle vary widely, but they generally involve flour, sugar, butter, and eggs.

In a more informal context, "fuffle" can be used as a verb meaning to make a mess or to become disorganized. For example, someone might say they "fuffled up their notes" if they made them messy. It can also be used as a noun to describe the state of being messy or disorganized, such as "the room was in a fuffle." This usage is generally lighthearted and not meant to be taken too seriously. The origin of the word is unclear, but it is thought to be imitative or a playful alteration of other words related to confusion or disarray.
