MINI POPOVERS
When I was younger, my father would take us out to eat on a Friday or Saturday night to the Country Tavern. It is here that we discovered PopOvers. My Dad and I loved these wonderful puffs of delight. After many years of adjusting this recipe I came up with this. A miniature version. This is in memory of my Dad. Miss you Dad....

Steps:
- 1. Get all ingredients together.
- 2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Generously butter the muffin tins, and set aside.
- 3. In a mixing bowl, stir together the sifted flour and the salt. Wisk in the milk, melted butter, and slightly beaten eggs. Wisk until well blended. The batter should have the consistency of thick cream. Set aside. Give a stir just prior to filling tins.
- 4. When the oven is preheated place buttered tins into the center of the oven, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully, you don't want the butter to burn. Remove tins after about 2 minutes and fill with batter no more than two-thirds full.
- 5. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes. Lower oven to 350 degrees and continue to bake 15-20 more minutes or until well risen and rich golden brown. Do not open the oven door. Even if they look done. Brown is good, golden brown is much better. Even if they look like they are done and you still have 10 minutes on the clock. Let them cook. If you don't they will have an eggy texture.
- 6. You can make it your own. Apple butter or cinnamon butter go great. Instead of vanilla use almond extract. Drizzle with pure maple syrup or honey. Add some shredded cheese. You will just love these, and they are worth the effort. Enjoy.
MINI POPOVERS
Steps:
- Grease your mini muffin pan and put in the fridge to chill while you're making the batter. Crack your eggs into a bowl and beat well. Then add the flour, milk, and salt and mix everything together-don't worry about the lumps, it'll probably be pretty lumpy. Pour the batter into the mini muffin tray-about 3/4 of the way for each one. Put in the oven and THEN turn the oven on to 400 degrees F. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and then take them out of the oven. Serve as soon as possible.

Steps:
- Preheat over to 450. Grease mini muffin tin and sprinkle cinnamon sugar in each tin. Whisk together flour, sugar, slat, and cinnamon until there are no lumps. In large measuring cup, mix milk, eggs, 2 tbsp butter, and stir into dry ingredients until just combined. Pour into tins and sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top. Bake 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350, and continue to bake for another 8-10 minutes. Brush with remaining melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Tips:
- Use the right ingredients: Make sure you use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your popovers.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the popovers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before you start making the popovers. This will help them rise properly.
- Use a muffin tin: A muffin tin is the best way to make popovers. The cups in the muffin tin will help the popovers rise evenly.
- Fill the muffin cups halfway: Don't fill the muffin cups all the way to the top. The popovers will need room to rise.
- Bake the popovers until they are golden brown: The popovers are done baking when they are golden brown and have a hollow sound when you tap them.
Conclusion:
Mini popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect popovers every time.
