Eggnog Popovers

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2. 2
   Heat a 6-cup muffin tin in the oven for a few minutes while you mix the batter.
3. 3
   In a quart-sized pyrex measuring cup of medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla and nutmeg. When smooth, whisk in flour and salt.
4. 4
   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 (about 1 tsp butter/tin). 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 375°F Bake for an additional 10 - 15 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.

   Serve with maple syrup. Sausage is tasty, too. Make some while those popovers are baking!
