Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose unbleached white flour 2 tsps freshly grated orange or tangerine zest 2 tsps poppy seeds 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup skim milk, at room temperature 3 egg whites, lightly beaten 1 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil deep popover molds or muffin tins, sprayed with nonstick coating Directions:1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the dry ingredients (the first 5 ingredients) in a mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Add the milk, egg white, and oil and whisk just to mix. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream; add a little more milk if necessary. Pour the batter into the molds, filling each mold one-third to half full. 2. Bake the popovers for 15 minutes without opening the oven door. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F and continue baking for 30 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and well-browned. Unmold and serve at once. Makes 6 to 8 large popovers, 10 to 12 small ones. |
