Popovers are such a wonderful spring tradition. Since easter comes early this year, we have already begun to think about bunnies, rabbits, and not to mention all the candy.... But one of our favorite easter traditions are popovers. These can easily be turned into a lesson for your children and represent the empty tomb during Jesus's resurrection.
As an added benefit, these popovers are fluffy, buttery, and and simple to make! The best part about this particular popover recipe is that you can utilize just a regular old muffin tin rather than purchasing a fancy popover pan. The less gadgets cluttering your kitchen, the better, right?

Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
In a blender, mix everything together until it looks frothy. Let the popover batter rest while the oven pre-heats to 450 degrees. Use a large muffin tin pan that serves 6. Put the empty muffin tin in the oven for 2 minutes to warm it up. Remove it from the oven and melt an extra 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave, and then divide the butter between the cups. Pulse the batter in the blender once more to make it bubble and then fill each cup. Bake for 15 minutes. Resist the urge to open the oven door while they bake or you will unpop your popovers. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes. Your popovers should be golden brown and dry to the touch and sound hollow when you tap on them.
Eat and enjoy! I'm hungry just thinking about it!
