French Airy Puffs (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:

113 grams butter, unsalted
02 -
240 milliliters milk, whole

04 -
4 eggs, large

# How to Make It:
01 -
Turn oven to 190°C. Cover a regular muffin tin with plenty of grease, making sure to coat the edges too.
02 -
Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Pour in milk and heat until it just starts to bubble.
03 -
Put all flour into the pot at once. Stir hard with a wooden spoon on low heat until you get a ball of dough that doesn't stick to the sides.
04 -
Take pot off the heat and let the dough sit for 5 minutes to cool down.
05 -
Drop in eggs one by one, stirring each one in completely with your wooden spoon before adding another. Don't worry if it looks weird at first - it'll smooth out.
06 -
Share the dough equally between all muffin cups. Scatter some sugar on top of each one.
07 -
Cook for 30 minutes until they've risen well and turned a nice golden color.
08 -
Let them cool a bit. Add honey drizzle and enjoy with whipped cream or fresh fruit if you want.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
You can skip adding extra sugar to the dough since most sweetness comes from the sugar on top and stuff like honey or fruit.
02 -
Keep the oven door closed during the first part of baking to get the best puff and texture.
