Popovers

A nice light popover to accent a meal

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 3 lg eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  1. Mix dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.   Add the eggs and blend.  Mix in the milk and melted butter.  Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.  Pour into muffin tins

    Cook for 30 minutes at 425.   Check about 20 minutes in, my convection oven only needed 25 minutes.

I used a silicone muffin tin that had a flower shape so it is not the round shape it usually is.
