Favorite Sunday morning recipe: Honey butter popovers

Sunday mornings are my favorite time to try out new breakfast recipes and today I attempted these delicious popovers from Tasty Kitchen.  B was a bit suspect after he looked in the oven as they did resemble my dutch babies.  However, the ratio of flour to eggs is greater so they turn out light and fluffy with a warm, sort of custard-y filling when you break them open.  Perfect with jam, nutella (B's choice), or slathered with more butter and creamed honey (my choice).  A lovely breakfast to start the day!

Popovers

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• 1 Tablespoons Honey
• 3 whole Eggs
• 1 cup Whole Milk
• 1 Tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Flour

Directions:

•  Preheat oven 400 degrees F 
• Melt 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp honey
• Put eggs in blender and mix for several seconds until light
• Add melted butter/honey, milk, sugar, salt and flour and blend for several seconds
• Coat 12 muffin pan with butter and fill cups 3/4 of the way full 
• Bake for 20-25 min until puffed and golden brown on top
• Take out and serve warm with your spread of choice!

**after more research, it seems that using bread flour would help keep the popovers fluffy with round tops (instead of my sunken in ones) and also it helps to use a heavy metal muffin pan.  Enjoy!

Favorite Friday Recipe: Dutch Babies

If  you are like me and find yourself wishing there was more egg on your french toast, today's post is for you!  This recipe is by the lovely Z over at her blog.  Dutch babies are amazing--they are sort of a cross between a crepe and a pancake--except way egg-ier.  Egg lovers take note!

Here they are puffing up in the oven 

They start to de-puff almost immediately after you take them out.  Sadly mine do not look as nice as Z's.  Probably because in typical fashion I overfilled the muffin pans.

Served with fresh California strawberries and powdered sugar (feel free to douse with maple syrup shortly before eating!)

I can't wait to make these again and am dreaming up of different toppings like nutella, mixed berries, and even savory options!
