Popovers

So I made these last week and have been meaning to post. Most of you probably have no idea what these are as they are very British/Canadian. They are also known as yorkshire pudding. I grew up with these puffy, bread like things. They are soooooooo good with a roast beef dinner, filled with beef gravy.
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Put all ingredients into a blender, blend until smooth. Put in fridge until ready to use (for some reason they turn out better if the batter is cold). Heat oven to 400. Spray a muffin tin with pam or wipe well with oil. Pour batter evenly among all 12 cups and bake for 30 min. or until golden brown. Do not open oven while baking, they will flop!

i've literally tried 7 different recipes for popovers, but they've always come out too dense and never puffed up. i've used this recipe about 4 times and they've come out perfectly airy and puffed everytime! i think using a food processor/blender is key to thoroughly mix everything (i was just using a fork) and force air into the batter bc of the high speed of the blade. plus i put my tin and batter in the freezer for 15-20 min to get it super cold!
