Nun's Puffs

Not these Nun's.... but these Nun's

[Pass the Pocky]

I woke up this morning and felt like going out to eat.  With the hubs in China still it doesn't make me really want to cook.  But I figured a slow morning at home was what Davis and I both needed.  So I skimmed through my good ol' Better Homes and Gardens cookbook for a french toast recipe.  I came across Nun's Puffs.  Having never heard about these I figured I'd give them a shot.  I decided to halve the recipe, which usually doesn't work out so well, but since it was easy ingredients I figured I'd try.

They turned out great!  The puff up so beautifully in the oven and fall just a touch when removed.  The best way to describe the flavor is fluffy yet dense with a bit of egg flavor...you see they taste like German Pancakes, only they aren't flat.  So I sprinkled a little powdered sugar on them with syrup and enjoyed!

Here is the receipe if you want to give them a shot:

Nun's Puffs

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 cup milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar or to taste
Honey * or syrup and powdered sugar
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously grease twelve 2 1/2 inch muffin cups, including the edge and around the top of each cup. Set aside. In a medium saucepan melt butter; add milk. Bring to boiling. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously. Cook and stir until mixture forms a ball that does not separate. Remove from heat; cook for 5 minutes.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute with a wooden spoon after each addition or until smooth. Divide dough evenly among prepared muffin cups, filling cups about two-thirds full; sprinkle with sugar.

3. Bake about 30 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Remove from pan. Serve immediately. If desired, serve with honey (or syrup and powdered sugar :) 

On to other news, I didn't have any luck finding a professional organizer.  So my sister in law offered to help.  She did a walk through and we basically made a game plan.  It involves moving things around in 5 rooms, a hallway closet, and some of my kitchen cupboards.  So its going to take a while, but I now have a plan and am not freaking out as much anymore.  I've got just about 3 months until baby girl comes, with work being super busy, life at home busy and a few trips planned its going to go quickly.
