Ahh, Nun’s Puffs — light, airy, old-school magic ✨
They’re basically sweet, eggy puffs (similar to cream puffs) that bake up crisp outside and soft inside.
Here’s the classic, no-fail recipe:
🧈 Nun’s Puffs
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Powdered sugar or honey (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Grease a muffin tin generously (important!). - Boil the liquids
- In a saucepan, combine milk, water, and butter.
- Bring to a full boil.
- Add flour
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in the flour all at once, mixing hard until it forms a smooth ball.
- Add eggs
- Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- Stir in sugar and vanilla.
- Batter will be thick, glossy, and stretchy.
- Fill muffin tin
- Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about ½ full.
- Bake
- Bake 25–30 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Do not open the oven while baking!
- Serve
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey.
- Best served warm.
💡 Tips for Perfect Puffs
- They puff dramatically, then settle slightly — that’s normal.
- For extra crispness, poke a tiny hole in each puff after baking and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
- Delicious plain, but also amazing with jam, whipped cream, or fruit.
If you want, I can give you:
- a savory cheese version
- a shortcut blender method
- or the story behind why they’re called Nun’s Puffs 😄
Just tell me!
