New Recipe: Puffy Popovers

Puffy Popovers

This recipe I found over on baby center

We like to try new things, and this looked like something simple and fun to try out.  

It's not too different from a basic muffin recipe, but with different proportions.

I'm posting the recipe, incase you might like to try it out sometime yourself.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes

Traditionally served with roast beef, these light, airy popovers are a treat with any roasted food or simply served with hot tea.

Ingredients

2 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus butter for greasing the muffin pan 

3 eggs 

1 1/2 cups milk 

1 1/2 cups flour 

Salt and pepper 

Preparations

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 

Lightly butter a 12-cup muffin pan. 

In a bowl, whisk the eggs. 

Add the milk and beat well. 

Sift the flour over the mixture (I don't have a sifter, so I fluff up the flour with a spoon before measuring - my Home Ec. teacher taught us this trick in high school and it works fairly well) and stir to create a smooth batter. 

Add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter and the salt and pepper. 

Fill the prepared tins about two-thirds of the way full. 

Drizzle the remaining melted butter over each of the popovers and bake on the middle shelf for 15 minutes. 

Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and bake another 15 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and puffed up. 

Makes 12 servings
