RECIPE: Guilt-free popovers
Four ingredients away from poppin' perfection.
Article Date:
Egg whites and fat-free milk make this favorite comfort food guilt-free.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fat-free milk
- 1 cup all-purpose (plain) flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 egg whites
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Generously coat 6 large metal or glass muffin molds with cooking spray. Heat the muffin molds in the oven for 2 minutes.
In a large bowl, add the milk, flour, salt and egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat until smooth. Fill the heated muffin molds 2/3 full. Bake in the top rack of the oven until golden brown and puffy, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
Dietitian's tip: To make cheese popovers, add 1 tablespoon of batter to the bottom of each cup. Top with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese and fill the cups 2/3 full with remaining batter. The Parmesan cheese adds 7 calories, a trace amount of fat and cholesterol and 25 milligrams of sodium to each popover.
