Jenny's popovers

Jenny shared this recipe with the group some time ago. They are a favorite of ours now, too. Easy to make, easy for kids to help with. From Mollie Katzen's Pretend Soup kids cookbook.

2 T. butter
2 eggs
1 c. milk
1 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 375 and melt butter.
Brush insides of 12 muffin cups with melted butter. (Kids can do this part.)
Break eggs into mixing bowl.
Add milk and beat well.
Add flour and salt and whisk until reasonably well-blended.
Use a 1/4 c. measure with a handle to pour batter into each muffin cup. They should be 1/2 to 2/3 full.
Bake 30 minutes without opening oven.
Remove muffins from the pan and prick with a fork to let the steam escape. Spread with butter, jam, maple syrup, or even plain, and eat! You may need to make another batch!
Yield: 1 dozen

Yay, this is my kind of recipe. Short list of ingredients and sounds yummy.

Oh, Hugo and I are soooo making these next week.

so, can you use regular muffin tins? I keep seeing popover tins, or recipes involving juggling glass cups. I'd so make these if they were do-able in muffin tins.

your granola recipe sounds so good, too.

Yes, when we've made these we've used a regular muffin tin.
