Breakfast in a jiffy

In the last post I forgot to mention that while I was searching for recipes with nonfat dry milk, the carton itself had 4 recipes of which 2 sounded very interesting. This is a similar recipe for Popover oven pancakes. I had a guest coming home at 10.30 and around 10:03 I started it. The pancake puffed and made it to the table in good time. The pancake had a custardy/pudding look to it like eggs baked in oven. I meant to take a photo but I was in a hurry to serve it. There's a recipe for banana bread too that I will make someday.
