Nani Nani by Lolaberries: Popovers / Yorkshire Pudding

I love to make popovers. They are also known as Yorkshire Pudding. They are easy to make and require basic ingredients that most people have in their kitchens. I love to make popovers when I am making soup. I can have the soup heating on the stove and the popovers in the oven and the meal comes together nicely. My favourite soups to accompany popovers are Creamy Carrot Soup and Butternut Squash soup. I hope to blog about those soups in upcoming posts.

I don't even know where this recipe is from. My mom had it written on a recipe card and I found it in her recipe box.

Popovers aka Yorkshire Pudding

2 large egg whites

1 large egg

1 cup milk

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 cup all purpose flour

1/2 tsp parsley flakes or dried oregano

1/8 tsp salt

1. Move your oven rack to the lowest position and preheat oven to 400F. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin and place in oven.

2. Meanwhile, in a pitcher, whisk together egg whites, egg, milk and oil. Add flour, spices and salt. Whisk until smooth.

3. Remove piping hot muffin tin from oven and fill each cup half full with the batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and pierce each one with a sharp knife to release steam. Let sit one minute then remove from tin and serve immediately.

Preheat your oven first.

Gather your ingredients and a 12 cup muffin tin.

I put about a teaspoon of canola oil in each cup. You could also use shortening.

I like to make sure the oil covers the sides as well. Just using a barbecue brush.

I like to make these in my 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup. Why put in a bowl and then into a pitcher? Too much work.

Two egg whites and one whole egg.

One cup of milk.

One tablespoon of olive oil.

Whisk all together.

Add one cup of flour.

1/8 of salt is what the recipe says but I just use a light sprinkle.

I don't measure the spices either, just sprinkle in. Feel free to change it up, onion powder and garlic powder also make a good combination. Plain is also just fine.
