Vegan Popovers

Something to try when I'm feeling up to it.

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chickpea flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
1/2 teaspoon salt
pinch of tumeric
1/2 of a 14 oz. block tofu, pressed
1 3/4 cups soymilk
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons nondairy butter, melted

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease muffin tin.

Whisk together dry ingredients and set aside. In a blender or food processor, blend the tofu until smooth, then add the milk, water, and butter and blend until creamy and no bits of tofu remain.

Pour the tofu-milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until batter is thick and smooth.

Fill muffin tins about 3/4 full and bake at 450 for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. The popovers should be golden and their tops firm to the touch.

Let cool on a cooling rack for 5-10 minutes, then dig in.
