Description

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.
