Finally, another recipe after the summer vacation hiatus. This one, inspired by my healthy, no-oil/fried-loving sister, a form of non-fried doughnuts! Well, almost. Fun to make and even more fun to watch them pop in the oven while they bake. (We ate these for breakfast.) Probably the simplest recipe you'll ever make, really pretty hard to mess up. If you want a savory version, just hold the cinnamon sugar and add in herbs and seasoned salt instead.
Cinnamon Sugar Popovers
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- a few Tbs sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- dash of cinnamon
- 1 Tbs oil
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Drizzle a teaspoon of butter/oil into each muffin tin (without cupcake liners!) and stick the greased pan in the oven while you make the batter. Beat together the eggs, milk, oil, sugar, cinnamon, and flour until smooth. If needed, use an electric mixer for two minutes. Then, take the muffin tin out of the oven and add in the batter, filling each tin less than halfway. (The batter should sizzle a little since your pan is hot.) If you want, you can sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top for a crunchy outside. Bake for around 15-20 minutes, then reduce the temp to 350 degrees and bake for another 15-20 min. Best served hot right out of the oven! Dust with powdered sugar if you want ;)
(Makes 1 dozen popovers)
