Popovers. They are easier than biscuits, and way more impressive. I have lifted this from Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals, and it is dead simple and really, really tasty. You will eat at least three.
You will need:
1 c. flour
1 c. milk
1 egg (large)
2 T. butter, melted
You will do:
Put a standard muffin pan in the oven and heat it to 425 degrees F.
Melt the butter in the microwave.
Put the flour, milk and egg in the blender and blitz until combined (at least mostly, if there is some rogue flour stuck to the side, don't sweat it).
Note: work quickly, but do not rush. Once the oven is preheated, pull out the muffin tin and pour the butter amongst the 12 holes, and spread it around in the tins with a basting brush. Take the blender carafe and pour the batter in to fill each about 1/2 full. It's totally okay to just pour one continuous line and let the batter dribble on the muffin tin. It will be fine. Put the muffin tin back into the oven and let it bake for 12-15 minutes, until popovers are golden brown on the sides and popping out of the pans.
Remove from oven and disentangle from pan (may be a little tricky, but worth the effort).
Congratulations. You won dinner.
Extra credit: Match the popovers to whatever you are serving by adding a bit of chopped up herbs or spices that match or complement your meal after combining the main ingredients. Just throw them into the batter and blitz for another second. Seriously impressive for almost no work.
