Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, butter, salt, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer and the butter is melted.
Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and have risen significantly. Avoid opening the oven door during baking, as this may cause the puffs to collapse.
Remove the golden puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the puffs for a light, sweet finish before serving.
