One of the simplest recipes - and so wholsome. I made them for dinner an hour ago to go with mushroom soup that simmered while they PUFFED in the oven to my amazment and full satisfaction- crispy on the outside empty inside. My daughter said they taste like Challa french toast. We dipped them in the soup, and for desert filled them with homemade jam.
I made a few changes - in the order of mixing: warmed the milk and melted the butter in it, let it cool a little, poured it over the flour and salt, and with a few strikes of the whisk it was all smooth with no lumps at all. Then I added the eggs, one at a time, whisked just to amalgamize everything together. No need to wait - straight to the oven.
I saved a couple from my family - hidden away to be tested later. so far they didn't collapse.
Thank you for your blog and recipes - every week I try something - no disapointment so far and I love the "lazy less work better taste" approach in the kitchen.
Thanks, Amira - I'll try your method and see if it makes the popovers even easier - PJH
