Baking and Me (Episode 6)

I decided to try out the simple POPOVERS recipe featured on Sunday Times after work this evening.

And man, it is mouth-watering! It is like croissant in a ball shape.

It tastes best with butter & jam!! I ate 2 while it came out hot from the oven.

2 eggs

250ml full fat milk

1. Process the eggs and milk in a blender until smooth.

2. Add flour, butter and salt and continue to process at high speed.

3. Pour batter into a measuring jug and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

4. While batter is reaching room temperature, pour 1/2 tsp vegetable oil into each of the 10 outer cups of a 12-cup muffin tin. Leave the two middle cup empty.

5. Adjust oven rack to the lowest position and place the muffin tin in the oven and heat the oven to 230deg.

Make 10 popovers.

Bon Appetit!
