Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 cup eggnog
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tbsp melted butter for the pan
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 450F. Heat a 6-cup muffin tin in the oven for a few minutes while you mix the batter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla and nutmeg. When smooth, whisk in flour and salt.
Remove heated muffin tin from oven. Spread pre-melted butter over muffin cups to ensure full coverage and a little bit of excess butter at the bottom of the cup. Quickly divide the batter into the muffin cups (they should be full). Bake for 15 - 20 minutes at 450F, then use a sharp knife to poke a small hole in the top of each popover to release steam and prevent them from deflating. Reduce oven heat to 375F. Bake for an additional 10 - 15 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
Makes 6 popovers.
