Nun's Puffs

Although the name sounds pretty odd, Nun's Puffs are a tasty breakfast pastry, like popovers, great for special occasions or lazy Saturday mornings. Quite yummy when topped with honey or powdered sugar, and still good the next day.

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- honey (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously grease twelve 2 1/2 inch muffin cups, including the edge and around the top of each cup.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan, then add milk. Bring to a boil. Add flour all at once, stirring vigourously. Cook and stir until mixture forms a ball that does not separate. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition or until smooth. Divide dough evenly among prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Remove from pan and serve immediately. Serve with honey if desired.
