Nun’s Puffs are light, airy French-style pastries with a crisp exterior and custardy center, drizzled with honey for the perfect sweet brunch or dessert treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Honey or powdered sugar, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a standard muffin tin.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the milk. Bring just to a boil.
- Quickly add the flour all at once and stir vigorously until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the sugar and salt.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Do not open the oven during baking.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Do not open the oven during baking or the puffs may collapse.
- Let the batter cool slightly before adding eggs to avoid scrambling.
- Use room temperature eggs for best puff.
