Ever had popovers?
I never had popovers until my daughter got a kid’s cookbook for her birthday years ago. We made popovers (soooo easy) and they’ve become a favorite of my family’s. Easy to make and disappear in a flash!
Preheat oven to 375°
2 TBSP Butter, melted
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Milk
2 Eggs
½ tsp Salt
Generously brush butter into 9 muffin cups using all the butter. Whisk the remaining ingredients into a thin batter. Fill muffin cups ½ to 2/3 full, dividing batter evenly. Bake 30 minutes. Do not open oven during baking or they will fall. Pierce each popover with a fork to keep them from collapsing. Serve with butter, honey or jam.
Apple tarts-three ingredients, 10 mins. prep-looked like I baked all day!
Here’s what you need:
Puff Pastry
Apples
Apricot preserves
Here’s what you do:
Heat apricot preserves in microwave for 1 min until semi-fluid. Meanwhile, cut puff pastry into 3 to 4-inch squares. Peel and slice apples thinly. Brush tops of puff pastries with preserves to 1/2 inch of the edges. Fan the apple slices onto centers of pastries. Brush apple slices with preserves. Bake for about 12-14 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
Homemade Empanadas!
I visited with friends tonight who just happened to be making homemade empanadas. Carla was folding perfect little creases in the edges then placing them on the baking sheet. They were so beautiful, I had to take a picture. Then she sent us home with some to bake for dinner. Oh, my. They were heavenly.
