By á-7592

Ingredients

• For the puffs:
• Softened unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 cup flour
• For the sugar coating:
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Liberally grease a nonstick popover pan, or a muffin pan with 1/2-cup indentations, with softened butter.

2. For the puffs, put the 2 tablespoons melted butter, eggs, milk, salt and sugar in a blender and whiz for a few seconds.

3. Add the flour and whiz for 5 to 8 seconds, just until smooth.

4. Divide the batter among 9 greased molds, filling each 1/2 to 2/3 full.

5. Bake for 35 minutes, until the puffs are deep brown.

6. Remove from the oven, wait a few minutes until cool enough to handle, then remove the puffs from the pans. You may need a small knife to help pry them out.

7. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Thoroughly brush each puff all over with melted butter, then dredge in sugar and cinnamon mixture to coat completely. Let cool on a baking rack. Makes 9 puffs.
