CINNAMON SUGAR POPOVERS

Real life…I brought TUMS with me on a bachelorette wine tasting tour this past weekend.

At one point this weekend, there was both a roll of half eaten TUMS and a penis straw in my purse.

I can’t make this up if I tried.

Sweet sips have my esophagues angry and screaming. And myself wishing for a quick death or a wiser mind. It has taken years, but I have come to the realization that I can not enjoy such things as a mango margarita or a rum punch without paying the consequences and eating my daily calcium needs while sitting at a bar. It is attractive.

This is my life. Penis straws. TUMS. Wine tastings. It’s all pretty great…minus the chalky tongue. Oy.

What does this have to do with cinnamon sugar popovers? Nothing, besides the fact that they are great the morning after a night out … quick and easy and so delightfully comforting. Reminiciscent of cinnamon sugar toast but lighter and softer and chewier. Imagine elephant ear meets breakfast toast.  Wowza.

It will drown out any shame gathered by chowing down on some TUMS while bellied up to a bar.

And we are ready to whip some up…grab your blender and popover or muffin tin and we are off…

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Cup Whole Milk
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled
• 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
• ½ Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• ½ Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 2-3 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
• Coating
• 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
• ½ Cup Sugar
• 1+1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a blender, combine milk, eggs, and 1 tablespoon melted butter (cooled). Blend until combined.
2. Add to the blender the flour, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and frothy.
3. Preheat oven to 450F. Preheat oven after mixture is blended - this allows for the flour to absorb some of the liquid - improvement in texture.
4. Once oven is preheated, Place muffin or popover tin in the oven for 2 minutes to heat up. Remove tin from oven and brush each cup with the vegetable oil. Give the batter one more whiz with the blender. Pour batter into each cup, filling about ½ of the way full.
