Eggnog Popovers

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup eggnog
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, for the pan

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 450°f.
• 2 heat a 6-cup muffin tin in the oven for a few minutes while you mix the batter.
• 3 in a quart-sized pyrex measuring cup of medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla and nutmeg. when smooth, whisk in flour and salt.
• 4 remove heated muffin tin from oven. spread pre-melted butter over muffin cups to ensure full coverage and a little bit of excess butter at the bottom of the cup (about 1 tsp butter/tin). quickly divide the batter into the muffin cups (they should be full). bake for 15 - 20 minutes at 450f, then use a sharp knife to poke a small hole in the top of each popover to release steam and prevent them from deflating. reduce oven heat to 375°f bake for an additional 10 - 15 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
• 5 serve with maple syrup. sausage is tasty, too. make some while those popovers are baking!
