Categories     Dessert

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup milk
½ cup water
8 tablespoons butter (, cut into small pieces)
1 cup flour (, sifted)
4 eggs
4 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
A few drops vanilla extract ((or orange blossom water))
1 tablespoon rum
3 oz. granulated sugar ((or icing sugar))
Vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Bring water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt to a boil.
  • When the butter is completely melted, remove from the heat and pour the flour all at once. Mix quickly with a wooden spoon.
  • Replace the pan over low heat, and continue to mix until the dough comes off the edges and forms a ball.
  • Let rest for 3 minutes, then incorporate the eggs one by one by working the dough vigorously (you can use your stand mixer too). Each egg must be completely incorporated into the dough before adding the next.
  • Finally, add the rum, the selected flavoring and mix vigorously.
  • Heat a pot of oil. The oil should be warm but not smoking (about 350F/170C).
  • Using a pastry bag or 2 teaspoons, drop small dollops of choux pastry into the oil in small batches. The nun's puffs will swell during cooking and turn over as soon as they are golden.
  • Remove them from the oil using a skimmer and place them in a colander, on a rack or on paper towel.
  • Sprinkle with icing sugar or sugar before enjoying them warm.

Time 45m

Yield 12 puffs, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup flour
4 large eggs
12 pinches sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high.
  • Add the milk and salt to the butter and stir to combine, then allow the mixture to come to a boil (it should develop a frothy head).
  • Add the flour to the butter mixture and stir with a fork until a loose ball is formed. Continue stirring for 1 or 2 more minutes.
  • Scrape dough ball into a bowl and allow to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs 1 at a time, stirring each into the mixture until it's smooth.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Coat 12 muffin cups with butter liberally, including the area around the mouth of each cup. Do the same to a #9 disher (one of those ice cream scoops with the thumb lever that helps push out the scoop). Drop about half a scoop of the mixture into each muffin cup. Dust the top of each puff with a pinch of sugar (turbinado sugar works well for this).
  • Slide pan into the oven and allow to bake for 30 minutes, until puffs have more than doubled in size and are golden brown.
  • Poke each puff with a fork to let out its steam (so the insides don't get soggy) and remove from the pan. Allow each puff to cool slightly before eating, then dig in!

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before rolling: Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and prevent it from sticking to the work surface.
  • Roll the dough out thinly: The thinner the dough is rolled out, the crispier the puffs will be.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough: A sharp knife will give you clean cuts and prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Fry the puffs in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when you drop the puffs in. This will help create a crispy shell.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Frying the puffs in batches will help prevent them from sticking together.
  • Drain the puffs on paper towels: This will help remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the puffs warm: Nun's puffs are best served warm, when they are crispy and the honey is still melted.

Conclusion:

Nun's puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a batch of these golden-brown pastries that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you serve them for breakfast, lunch, or dessert, Nun's puffs are sure to be a hit.
