Dessert Puffs

These puffs are best served immediately after baking while still warm and crispy. The batter cannot be made ahead as the leavening power of the beaten egg whites diminishes quickly upon standing.

Store leftover puffs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore some crispness. Note that the texture will not be as light and airy as when freshly baked. The lemon sauce should be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
