Delicious Pastry Puffs

I was off work today and wanted to make something special (such as dessert in general), so I found myself rummaging through an old cook book that Stewart has had for a long time (and probably never cracked open). Inside this cookbook I discovered these delicious not-so-little pastry puffs. They are so yummy, and even though I decided to make them for dessert tonight, I do think they would be ideal for breakfast. 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup  butter

1 cup  milk 

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

4 eggs

1 tablespoon sugar

 Honey (optional)

Directions:

Generously grease 12  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; cool for 5 minutes.

Add the eggs, 1 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. 

Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Remove from pan and serve immediately. If desired, serve with honey. 

*I didn't have any honey, so I used syrup! It tasted a lot like french toast, but better :)
