I hope you like my attempt at Popovers, which seem more like delicious, chewy muffins. The consistency is perfect – and the flavor is glorious!

I played around using a combination of rice flour and tapioca starch and allowed the baking powder and eggs to do what they do best. I also used ghee in place of butter, which added a rich flavor.

Not having popover baking tins didn’t stop me – I simply made these in muffin tins – and the recipe below makes 12 exactly. Enjoy with butter and jam, or alongside your chili con carne for a more savory experience.

Ingredients

3.9 oz rice flour
1.4 oz tapioca starch
1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp guar gum
Generous pinch sea salt
2.1 oz ghee
1 cup almond milk
3 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 390°F / 200°C.
Combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, baking soda, guar gum, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
Place the almond milk and ghee into a small saucepan and heat very gently until the ghee has melted and the almond milk has warmed through. Set aside to cool slightly.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl, then gradually whisk in the ghee/almond milk mixture.
Add the egg mix to the flour mix and use a whisk to combine very well. There should be no lumps.
Divide the mixture between a greased muffin pan, approximately 2/3 full. You could also use muffin molds here.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 355°F / 180°C.
Remove and enjoy!
