"from Cook's Country Mag. Easy, yet elegant enough for company and/or brunch. Relatively low fat, uses only 1 Tbls butter, and skim milk. Low fat or regular milk can be used, but the higher the fat content, the more tender and less crispy the edges will be. Replacing some of the flour with cornstarch also promotes crispness. Puffs up big in the oven like a popover, but custardy in the middle. Serve with different berries and a light whipped cream. Use an ordinary skillet with sloping sides to get an even rise."

49 yrs old, just moved into newly renovated (once-gutted after Katrina) tiny house w/ brand new kitchen. Still trying to get my bearings, have so much less space for cooking items. Married, one daughter in art school in N.Y. Soon-to-be-retired RN, now a Jazzercise instructor. Most fun I've had in years! I absolutely LOVE to cook, esp. anything Latino-inspired, authentic Mexican, Asian, Thai, and Indian. Looking forward soon to making my own vindaloo. One that's edible
