Nun’s Puffs Recipe

Nun’s Puffs are light, airy pastries made from a simple choux dough, baked to golden perfection and often drizzled with honey or sprinkled with sugar. These delightful treats have a crispy exterior and a soft, hollow interior, making them perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack. The secret to their puffy texture lies in the steam created during baking, which helps them rise beautifully.


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
  • Honey (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan, ensuring the sides and rims are coated to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add milk and bring to a gentle boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and add flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon.
  4. Continue stirring until the mixture forms a smooth ball that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Incorporate the Eggs

  1. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  2. The dough will appear lumpy at first but will smooth out as you mix.
  3. Continue stirring until the batter is silky and thick.

Step 4: Bake the Puffs

  1. Divide the dough evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  2. Sprinkle each puff with granulated sugar for a touch of sweetness.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and fully risen.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  2. Drizzle with honey for extra flavor.
  3. Serve warm and enjoy the light, airy texture!
