Chocolate Popovers

This post originally appeared on By Hook or By Cook.

Now that Lent has ended and we are celebrating the Easter season, I thought I'd post a great little chocolate brakfast recipe. It's not quite chocolate cake for breakfast, but it's awfully close (and a bit better for you).

2T butter
4 eggs
1c milk
1c flour
½t salt
¼c cocoa powder
¼c sugar

· Preheat oven to 400°F
· Melt butter and set aside
· Beat together eggs and milk
· Add flour, salt, cocoa, and sugar
· Mix well with whisk
· Pour evenly into 12 well-greased muffin cups
· Bake 25-30 minutes until popovers are well puffed and lightly crispy
· After baking, prick each popover with a toothpick to let steam escape
· Serve immediately
