An unusual treat for breakfast or brunch when topped with creamy scrambled eggs. This makes approx 12, any that you don’t eat can be frozen and then reheated in a hot oven straight from frozen in about 5 minutes.
Feel free to change the choice of soft herbs.
GOLD Members – you can watch a video about making this dish on my Tutorials page
2 eggs, cracked open into a small bowl and weighed
plain flour – same weight as the eggs
milk – same weight as the eggs
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
2 tbsp chives, chopped
1 tbsp tarragon, chopped
Beef dripping, duck or goose fat for greasing the muffin tin
Using the formula of whatever the eggs weigh, you use the same quantity of flour and milk. In a bowl, add the flour. Whisk in the milk and eggs and a pinch of salt. It doesn’t matter if it’s a bit lumpy. Tip in the herbs and stir them through the batter with a fork. Put in the fridge to chill for at least an hour or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 220C fan. Brush your chosen fat into each hole of the muffin tin and put in the oven to heat for at least 5 minutes. It should be smoking hot. When hot, pour a couple of tablespoons of batter into each hole, and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and keep warm. Make some lovely creamy scrambled eggs (watch the video) and serve on top of the popovers
