LEMON HERB POPOVERS

My Cellar

Serves 6

2 large eggs

1 tsp (5 ml) finely grated lemon zest

1 tsp (5 ml) finely chopped fresh thyme

2 tsp (10 ml) finely chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp (5 ml) finely chopped chives

1 tsp (5 ml) finely chopped sage

¼ tsp (1 ml) salt

1 cup (250 ml) whole milk

1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour

grapeseed or coconut oil, for greasing

Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). In a large 4-cup (1 L) measuring bowl or medium-sized bowl, whisk eggs, lemon zest, herbs, salt and milk. Add flour and whisk until combined and only some small lumps remain.
Place popover pan or standard muffin pan in oven for 5 minutes until piping hot. Remove pan from oven and quickly but generously brush each cup with grapeseed oil. Divide batter among cups, filling at least half full. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 35 minutes. Do not open oven door during cooking or popovers may collapse. Pierce each with a knife and return to oven for another 5 minutes. Turn popovers out onto a serving platter and enjoy warm.
