Delicate and flaky little popovers for afternoon tea, loaded with almond flavour. You won't even need to spread anything on these baked gems. Well, maybe a little dollop of clotted cream.
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup almond liqueur
- 3 tbs butter, melted
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup toasted almonds, ground
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbs sliced almonds
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375F and move rack to the lowest position in your oven. Grease 6 custard cups (6-oz each). Beat eggs with an electric mixer at low speed for about a minute. Beat in milk, liqueur and butter until well blended. Continue to beat, and add flour, ground almonds and salt. Pour batter into the custard cups, and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Bake for 40 minutes. Put a small slit in the top of each one to release steam. Bake for another 5-10 minutes until brown on top.Makes 6 popovers
