Nun's Puffs

Ingredients:


Butter, Milk, Flour, Eggs, Sugar



Step 1: Melt the butter



Step 2: Add the milk




Step 3: Add the flour (not pictured) and stir until it looks like play dough...



Step 4: Add the eggs one at a time stirring for one minute after adding each egg.




It is not until the last egg that it looses the play dough look and feel and becomes a rather stiff batter




Divide the batter between 12 well greased (Pam) muffin cups (regular size)




Sprinkle with sugar and Bake for 25-30 minutes until they look like this.....



I know, one is missing.  I had to test one since they looked very done at 25 minutes.

They were done so I split it open and drizzled a little honey......





I think they are called Nun's Puffs because they taste like HEAVEN.  Light, airy and not sweet (that is what the honey is for.)  Have this with a cup of hot chocolate for a wonderful weekend breakfast. 




A sprinkle of powdered sugar is also nice. 


Recipe:  Nun's Puffs

1/2 cup butter (one stick)
1 cup milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
Honey (optional)

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Generously grease twelve regular size muffin cups, including the edge and around the top of each cup (I use Pam Spray); set aside.

2. In a medium saucepan melt the butter; add the milk.  Bring to boiling.  Add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously.  cook and stir until mixture forms a ball that does not separate. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.

3.  Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for 1 minute with a wooden spoon after each addition or until smooth.

4. Divide the dough evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling cups about two-thirds full; sprinkle with sugar.

5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and puffy (25 minutes was perfect for my oven.)  Remove from pan.

6. Serve immediately drizzled with hone if desired.
