These light and airy bread treats have been a favorite of mine for a long time. I really REALLY LOVE them! But be warned, you will have a hard time just eating one!
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk, room temperature or heat in microwave for 30 seconds
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt

Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Spray a popover or muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place pan on center rack of oven and preheat for 2 minutes.
- Lightly blend flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until it looks like heavy cream, about 1 to 2 minutes, do not overbeat.
- Cut chilled butter into 12 small, even pieces. Place 1 piece of butter in each cup and place pan back in oven until butter is melted (about 1 minute).
- Fill each cup half full with batter and bake 20 minutes (no peeking… don’t open the door to check on them).
- Reduce heat to 325 F and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
