No fancy tools
One bowl, one pan
Ready in under an hour
So dang fluffy and buttery
These are perfect for Sunday brunch, a cozy breakfast-for-dinner night, or when you just want something sweet without the sugar crash.
They’re also great conversation starters — I made a batch for my in-laws and now they request “those weird puff things” every time they visit. 😂
Extra Tips for Perfect Puffs
Let me throw in a few little hacks I’ve picked up along the way:
Don’t underbake — they need the full bake time to set up inside and not collapse.
Stick with whole milk — skim or plant milks don’t puff quite the same.
Grease every nook of your muffin tin — seriously, go overboard with the butter or spray.
Eat ’em fresh — they deflate a little as they cool, so serve warm for max puffiness.
Final Thoughts
Nun’s Puffs might sound old-school, but they’re one of those “how did I not know about this sooner?” kind of recipes. Light, rich, golden, and way easier than they look — it’s the kind of thing you can make on a lazy Saturday and still impress the heck outta whoever walks into your kitchen.
So go ahead. Try ’em. And if you do, come back and tell me how they turned out — or better yet, tag me in your photos (because I live for that stuff).
Until then, keep that butter soft and those ovens hot. 🍴💛
