Popovers

 

Was so excited to try this one for the fact that it has very less ingredients and all at home.  Very simple and quick baking...very soft and fluffy. Took this one from the Living magazine.

Recipe:

* 1.5 cups maida (all purpose flour), half teaspoon salt, 5 tablespoons sugar

* Room temperature = > 1.5 cups milk (I used whole milk raw milk)

* Room temperature => 2 eggs (sink it in warm water if it is too cold)

* Mix egg and milk in a bowl and whisk well for a minute.

* Add the dry ingredients and whisk for another minute

* Preheat oven in 450 degrees and place the empty muffin or popover pan, let it heat

* Take the pan out after 5mins - very careful!!!, add some oil coat and pour into each cups till half.

* Bake in 450 for 10mins and then lower to 350 degrees and bake for 8mins.

* Yummy yum popovers are ready...serve with any sides U like...or U can eat as such too.

FYI, mine is a mini pan, so adjust your baking time according to your pan size.
