Nun’s Puffs – Light, Airy, and Buttery Little Treats You’ll Love!
These delightful pastries puff up into golden, hollow bites that are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. They’re sweet, simple, and surprisingly addictive—perfect with tea or coffee!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) butter
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- Optional: powdered sugar or honey for topping
structions:
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a muffin pan well.
In a saucepan, melt butter with milk over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat and add flour, sugar, and salt all at once. Stir vigorously until mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the pan.
Remove from heat. Let it cool for 5–7 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each until fully incorporated.
Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden and puffed. Don’t open the oven door during baking or they may collapse.
Let cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey if desired.
Tips:
- Serve warm for the best texture.
- You can add a hint of cinnamon or vanilla for a flavor twist.
- These are best eaten the same day—they’re so light, they disappear quickly!

Q: Can I fill them like cream puffs?
A: Absolutely! Once cooled, slice and fill with whipped cream or pastry cream for a fancier treat.
Q: Why did mine deflate?
A: Make sure not to open the oven door early, and bake until fully golden and crisp.
