Nun's Puffs

These are really good...they are like a muffin version of German Pancakes.

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablesppon white sugar
  • whipped cream or honey for serving


  • Grease 12 muffin cups including the area around the top of the cup as well as the sides. (DO NOT USE PAPER MUFFIN CUPS!).
  • 2 In a medium saucepan melt butter and add milk. Bring to boiling.
  • 3 Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously.
  • 4 Cook and stir until mixture forms a ball that does not separate and cool for 5 minutes.
  • 5 Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for 1 minutes after each egg until smooth. divide dough evenly among muffing cups, don't worry if they aren't full, these will rise.
  • 6 Preheat oven to 375°F and sprinkle puffs with sugar.
  • 7 Bake about 30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from pan.
  • 8 Plop a dollop of whipped cream on top of each and serve immediately or drizzle honey over the top and serve immediately.*.
  • 9 *NOTE: If the eggy flavor is a bit strong for you, let cool a couple hours and that will cut it down a lot.

  • *We drizzled honey and then put a dollup of whipped cream and they were delicious. I do have a very high tolerance to sugar...

    I've made a similar recipe called Popovers and we eat them like rolls with just butter and jam with dinner. My kids love them. I will have to try this recipe too. Thanks!
