Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly or use non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the milk and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes. This will prevent the eggs from cooking when added.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated into the dough before adding the next. The mixture should become smooth and glossy.

Step 6

Stir in the sugar until evenly combined.

Step 7

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the dough evenly between the greased muffin cups, filling each about halfway.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and firm. Do not open the oven door while baking, as this may cause them to collapse.

Step 9

Remove the puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. For added sweetness, drizzle with honey before serving, if desired.
