Popovers:
Ingredients:
Recipe Adapted from http://thekitchykitchen.blogspot.com/2013/02/popovers.html
2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
Butter for greasing
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Whisk together the flour and salt in a separate bowl, and add into the liquid mixture, beating only enough to combine (there should still be some lumps!)
Grease the popover (or muffin) pan and place in the oven for 2 minutes. Remove (careful - it will be a bit smokey!) and immediately fill them 1/2 full with batter. Back for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350 and bake for 10-15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and poke the tops with a knife to let the steam escape.
Makes 6 popover-sized or 12-muffin sized popovers
Iced Tea:
Ingredients:
6-8 bags of black tea (I used Twinings Earl Grey)
4 cups water
1/8-1/4 cup sugar
Lots of ice cubes
Lemon, peach, or other fruit for garnishing (or flavoring!)
Directions:
Boil the water, then add the tea bags and let steep for 5 minutes with the lid on. Remove the tea bags, add in the sugar, and then pour into a heat safe container that is 1/2 - 3/4 full of ice and place in the fridge to cool (about two hours, or overnight).
**As you are quickly changing the temperature of the tea be sure your pitcher and withstand the change. I unfortunately awoke to found our only glass pitcher had cracked in our fridge during the night. If you are worried about your pitcher (or don't have one) just pour the tea into individual glasses full of ice (or use a pot!). But at least I know what I'll be getting my dad for Christmas this year!
It's not quite a view of that rocky Maine coast, but
Happy Father's Day Daddy!
