Yorkshires or Popovers

A mini yorkshire pan and a Bamix or Braun electric hand mixer or blender make these rise as high as they do! Do not use a Kitchen Aid or two beater blender, they will not rise very high, (I've tried). They are delicious when served up with a beef roast and scrumptious gravy.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 12 mini yorkshires

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups flour
• 1 1⁄2 cups milk (I use skim, but any milk will do)
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 3 -4  large eggs
• 2  tablespoons  oil, for batter
• 1⁄2 cup  oil, for pan

Directions

1. Combine first five ingredients into tall beaker or blender.
2. Mix, incorporating as much air as possible if using hand mixer or turn blender to high.
3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
4. Add 1 teaspoon oil into each muffin cup and put into oven. Let the oil get so hot it smokes.
5. Give the batter one last whirl and fill cups right in the oven until about 3/4 full.
6. Leave oven at 450 F about 10 minutes, turn oven down to 400 F for about 10 minutes, turn oven down again to 350 F for about 15 minutes. By this time the yorkshires should be fairly high.
7. You can then turn oven off and let them sit or if taking them out right away pierce with a knife in the top to prevent falling.
8. If you are traveling with them, as I often do, overcook them a bit so they do not flatten.
