Nun's Puffs with Cream

Delightfully airy and golden, Nun’s Puffs with Cream are a heavenly treat that combine rich, buttery pastry with a touch of indulgence. These traditional French-inspired puffs are made from a simple choux pastry, crafted with just flour, butter, milk, and eggs, and elevated by the addition of heavy cream, which creates a luxuriously soft center with a crisp exterior. Perfectly portioned in a muffin tin, they’re easy to whip up in under an hour, making them ideal for breakfast, brunch, or an elegant dessert. Drizzle with honey for a touch of natural sweetness and serve warm for an irresistibly light and creamy bite that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Butter
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the milk to the saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the flour and salt all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon 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 mixture cool for about 5 minutes. This step is important to prevent the eggs from cooking prematurely in the next step.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is smooth and glossy. The dough should be thick but pipeable or spoonable.

Step 6

Using a spoon or piping bag, divide the dough evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway to three-quarters full.

Step 7

Pour 1 tablespoon of heavy cream over the top of each portion of dough in the muffin tin. This will help create the soft yet crisp texture characteristic of Nun's Puffs.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and fully expanded. Avoid opening the oven door during the baking process to prevent the puffs from collapsing.

Step 9

Remove the puffs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 10

Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or extra cream, if desired. Enjoy!
