Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional) Optional for added flavor
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Dusting
  • Powdered sugar For dusting, optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until well blended.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Allow the puffs to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish if desired.

Notes

These puffs can be enjoyed as part of a larger brunch spread or paired with fruit and yogurt. Consider adding fresh berries or chocolate chips for a twist. For vegan options, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use almond milk. You might also add a teaspoon of almond extract or lemon zest for extra flavor.
