POPOVERS

These crusty shells make any meal a big occasion. You too can turn them out in a jiffy!

To make 8 popovers you’ll need:

Flour, enriched, 1 cup
Salt, 1/2 teaspoon
Eggs, 2
Milk, 1 cup or 1/2 cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup water
Salad oil or melted shortening, 1 tablespoon

BAKING TEMPERATURE: 425° (HOT OVEN)
BAKING TIME: 45 MINUTES

1. Sift flour onto waxed paper; measure, add salt; sift again. Place unbeaten eggs in electric mixer bowl or other medium-sized bowl; add the milk, then the sifted flour.
2. Beat at low speed 1/2 minute, then at medium speed 1 minute, scrape bowl with rubber scraper; or beat smooth with hand beater. Add oil or shortening; beat until blended.
3. Grease 8 deep custard cups thoroughly; fill half full of batter. Bake in preheated oven about 40 minutes. Don’t peek until nearly done; constant temperature is important.
4. Now, open oven and quickly stick the point of a sharp knife into the side of each popover (this makes the popovers crisper). Bake 5 more minutes and serve at once.
