Sunrise Popovers
4 T. Vegetable Shortening
1 1/3 C. Unbleached Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
2/3 C. Milk
2/3 C. Water
4 Eggs
1/2 C. Cheddar; Sharp, Shredded
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place eight 6oz custard cups on a large baking sheet. Spoon 1 1/2 tsp. of shortening into the bottom of each custard cup and set aside. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl, and then gradually stir in the milk and water until well blended. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Fold in the cheddar cheese. Place the baking sheet with the custard C. in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes until the shortening melts and the custard C. are hot. Fill the custard C. 1/2 to 2/3rds full with the batter. Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, without opening the oven door until the popovers rise and turn golden brown. If not golden brown after 45 minutes, bake for an additional 5 minutes. Serve piping hot.
