Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the Base:<\/strong> In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Add Flour:<\/strong> Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth ball of dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the pan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool Slightly:<\/strong> Let the dough cool slightly for a few minutes. It should still be warm but not too hot to handle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Eggs:<\/strong> Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated into the dough before adding the next. The dough will become smooth and glossy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fill Muffin Cups:<\/strong> Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake:<\/strong> Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up. They should feel firm to the touch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool Slightly and Dust:<\/strong> Let the nun\u2019s puffs cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool slightly more. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving. They are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Tips and Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Temperature is Key:<\/strong> Ensure the water is boiling when adding the flour and that the dough has cooled slightly before adding the eggs to prevent them from scrambling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beat Eggs Thoroughly:<\/strong> Each egg needs to be fully incorporated into the dough for the right texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Open Oven Door:<\/strong> Avoid opening the oven door during the first 15-20 minutes of baking, as this can cause the puffs to deflate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Texture:<\/strong> Baked nun\u2019s puffs will have a slightly firmer and less airy texture compared to fried versions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Variations:<\/strong> You can add a touch of vanilla extract or lemon zest to the batter for extra flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serving Suggestions:<\/strong> Serve them as a light dessert, snack, or even with a dollop of jam or whipped cream.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Enjoy these delicate and delightful baked Nun\u2019s Puffs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients: 1\/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 1 cup water 1\/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 4 large eggs&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3568,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Fluffy Nun\u2019s Puffs Recipe - Grandma Baking Recipes","description":"Ingredients: 1\/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 1 cup water 1\/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 4 large eggs Vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray, for"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3567"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3567\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3569,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3567\/revisions\/3569"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
