Introduction
Nun’s Puffs are a delightful old-fashioned pastry that feels like a cross between a cream puff and a doughnut.
Their golden exterior hides a hollow, custardy inside that’s light, airy, and perfect for dusting with powdered sugar.
With just a handful of simple ingredients, these puffs can be whipped up for a brunch treat, afternoon snack, or even a charming dessert.
Rooted in European pastry traditions, Nun’s Puffs are typically made using pâte à choux dough—the same used in eclairs and profiteroles.
What sets them apart is their baking method in muffin tins and the unique fluffiness that makes them melt-in-your-mouth good. Let’s dive into the recipe and learn how to make this nostalgic favorite from scratch.
