Popovers - aka mini Souffle

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 1/4 cups milk

1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter

1) Mix flour and salt in large bowl.

2) Mix the rest of the ingredients in second bowl.

3) Pour egg mixture into flour mix. Stir until well mixed, can be a little lumpy.

4) Spray the cups, fill about 3/4 - 4/5 full. *

* If wanted, can put filling in puff. Pre-cooked meat (like bacon or ham), or cheese (Parmesan or soft cheese). Just a little, no more than 1/2 teaspoon. If doing filling, fill cup about 1/3 full, ad filling, then top with more mix.

5) Cook for 10 minutes (8-9 if heated, but don't pre-heat if adding filling, otherwise bottom will cook while adding the rest).

6) Test with toothpick. Popover will be puffed up, but will fall quickly as it cools.

-- Can be eaten as-is, or toped with jelly, etc.

-- Makes about 14 mini-popovers.

Mini-corndogs

We bought a bag of prepared mini-corndogs from Cash & Carry. The cooking instructions included microwave, oven, toaster oven, and deep fry. Deep fry is too messy, and the rest didn't work too well.

Tried the mini-cupcake maker - pre-heated, no spray, cooked for 10 minutes. Worked great. Crispy, warmed through, and easy clean-up.

Turkey sausage

Easy - take frozen breakfast sausage (ours came from Costco). Put in the cups (no spray, no pre-heat), cook for 7 minutes.

Ours were frozen, so I thawed them in a little in the microwave first. (about 45 seconds at 70%).

They came out good, done through and well heated. But also left a mess in the cooker.
