Description
In my cozy Brooklyn kitchen, after the disaster of The Great Cupcake Collapse, a miracle happened—Nun’s Puffs. Sent by Nana, the recipe card read “These won’t fight you.” And they didn’t. They rose into golden domes, cracked with joy, and tasted like a warm hug. These five-ingredient wonders are crisp outside, tender inside, and drizzled with honey to melt your heart. Whether for Sunday brunch or surprise guests, they puff with zero fuss. Grab your whisk—joy is only 30 minutes away.
Ingredients
-
½ cup unsalted butter
-
1 cup whole milk
-
¾ cup all-purpose flour
-
4 large eggs (room temp)
-
Honey or sugar (for topping)
Instructions
-
Warm Base: Melt butter and milk in a saucepan. Don’t boil—just bubble.
-
Add Flour: Off heat, stir in flour quickly. Beat until dough forms a smooth ball. Cool 5 mins.
-
Add Eggs: Beat in eggs, one at a time, until glossy and smooth.
-
Bake: Grease muffin tin. Fill cups ¾ full. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 mins. Don’t open the oven!
-
Finish: Drizzle warm puffs with honey or sprinkle sugar. Cool 2 mins in tin, then transfer out
Notes

Cool dough before adding eggs to avoid scrambling.

Never open oven early—let the magic puff!
