Airy, Buttery, and Light-as-a-Cloud—These Magical Puffs Practically Float Off the Plate!

Think you’ve had every kind of pastry? Think again. Nun’s Puffs are a classic, old-world treat that’s part cream puff, part popover—and 100% delightful. Crisp on the outside, custardy on the inside, and kissed with sugar, these golden beauties are simple to make but taste like something from a Parisian bakery.

What You’ll Need (Makes About 12 Puffs):

  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ to 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
  • Extra sugar for sprinkling
