Special days - Nun Puffs for breakfast

The way I treat my kids for holidays is a simple breakfast treat, the quick and easy nun puff.  In the history of this delicious, delicate puffed goodness says that they we first called nuns farts.  They were dated back into the 15th century French cuisine.  There has been a few takes on this recipe from different places but I found it in my own Betty Crocker cook book.  From that of the Pioneer woman in 2007 and pass the pocky blog in 2009.  There is also variations that deep fry these tasty treats but my way seems to keep making them come back for more.

Here is how it goes:

Preheat oven 350 degrees
Bake time:  20-30 minutes depending on oven.

1/2 cup (stick) butter
1 cup milk
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup flour
4 eggs
Sugar to top

1.  Get out a 4 quart sauce pan add butter and milk.  Melt butter, pinch of salt with milk over medium heat until a slow boil.

2.  Add flour all at once and stir until it becomes a ball shape.   Remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes.  

3.  Grease or "Pam" small muffin tin of 24 or muffin tin of 12 scup servings.

4.  Stir in each egg one at a time until all four are stored in to batter.

5. Use a table spoon to put the batter on each cup so they are all evenly filled.

6.  Sprinkle sugar on top of each one of the nun puffs.

7.  Bake for 20-30 minutes when sides and top are light brown and puffed up.

When done pull out and place warm puffs on cooling racks or plate.

Serve up something special for your family at special times to help make a tradition your own!
