Popovers


Ohhh popovers, how I love thee! These are typically a once a year treat that we have at our Thanksgiving dinner. However, my mom bought me a popover pan for Christmas and I am determined to get good use out of the gift! Popovers are a breeze to whip together (thanks Ashlyn!!), and you probably already have the ingredients in your kitchen. Don't have a popover pan? You should probably get one--these airy, custardy treats are the perfect addition to a meal. If not, I believe they can still be made in a regular 'ol muffin tin...they just won't "pop" as much!

Popovers

Ingredients:
-2 eggs
-1 cup all-purpose flour
-1 cup milk
-1/2 tsp salt

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450F. Grease 6 six oz. custard cups (popover pan)
2. In a medium bowl, beat eggs slightly. Beat in flour, milk, and salt until just smooth (be careful not to overbeat).
3. Fill custard cups 1/2 full.
4. Bake at 450F for 20 minutes. Decrease oven temperature to 350F and bake for 20 minutes more. (Don't open the oven while baking! The directions didn't say this, but I remembered my mom telling me this :)) Immediately remove from cups and serve piping hot.
