Description
These light, golden, and airy pastries are crispy on the outside and custardy inside — like a mix between a cream puff and popover! Best served warm with a drizzle of honey, a dusting of sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream. A simple, delightful treat with old-world charm. #NunsPuffs #EasyPastry #HoneyPuffs #BrunchIdeas
Ingredients
1 stick butter (½ cup)
1 cup milk
¾ cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
½–1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Granulated sugar, for sprinkling
Honey, for serving
Whipped cream or fruit, for serving (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a muffin pan.
-
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add milk and bring to a low boil.
-
Add flour all at once and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a dough ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
-
Remove from heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes.
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
-
Spoon the dough evenly into greased muffin cups, filling about halfway. Sprinkle tops with sugar.
-
Bake for 30 minutes, or until puffs are golden brown and puffed up.
-
Serve warm, drizzled with honey and optionally topped with whipped cream or fresh fruit.
Notes
-
Don’t open the oven while baking, or they may deflate.
-
Serve immediately for best texture.
-
You can also bake them in ramekins or a mini muffin pan for bite-sized puffs.
