almond popovers

You know how we sometimes choose an outfit to go with a pair of shoes?   This is the food equivalent of such situation.  

What could pair perfectly with my Banana-Lime Jam?  Almond popovers, of course.

It's the beauty of backwards design and in this case, I picked a winning outfit.

Popovers are made with an egg batter much like a pancake batter.  To make it as smooth as possible, or rather, as quick as possible, I used my Magic Bullet.  You can just toss all the ingredients in and be done!

Almond Popovers
(yields 6 popovers)
2 eggs
1 cup milk (I used almond milk)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. almond extract
a palmful of sliced and chopped almonds

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Butter 6 cups in your popover pan (or muffin tin) and set aside.
2. Add all ingredients to a food processor or Magic Bullet and blend until smooth.
3. Pour into buttered muffin tin.  
4. Place pan in the oven and decrease temperature to 350 degrees.  Bake 16-20 minutes.
5. Immediately remove when the tops begin to brown.  
6. Quickly take out each popover and place on a rack to cool.

Serve with Banana-Lime Jam!
