Prep Time 55 minutes Active 15 minutes
1 cup milk
1 Cup Flour
1/4 lb Unsalted Butter
4 Eggs
1/4 tsp. Kosher Salt
1/4 Nutmeg
1 tsp Vanilla
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. if a dark bottom pan 375 degrees F.
1. Heat the milk, butter, and salt over medium heat until scalded.
2) When the butter is melted, add the flour all at once and beat it with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together and forms a dough.
3) Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat for 2 minutes. The flour will begin to coat the bottom of the pan.
4) Add the eggs and mix in the eggs beating vigorously until incorporated into the dough and the mixture is thick.
5) Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted without a tip.
6) Pipe in mounds 1 1/2 inches wide and 1-inch high onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silicone baking mat.
7) With a wet finger, lightly press down the swirl at the top of each puff.
8) Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned, then turn off the oven and allow them to sit for another 10 minutes, until they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
9) Make a small slit in the side of each puff to allow the steam to escape. Set aside to cool.
