Vanilla popovers with Kirsch and elderflower summer fruits

Pudding
Serves 4

Ingredients

For the popovers

12g margarine
150ml milk
1 free-range egg
5ml sugar
5ml vanilla extract

Fruits

25g dried cherries soaked overnight in the Kirsch
1tbsp Kirsch
500g frozen summer (or forest) fruits
4 tbsp elderflower cordial

To serve

175ml Greek Yoghurt
2tbsp flaked almonds
25g icing sugar

Method

1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6/ 200 C/400F. Grease four Yorkshire pudding tins very well with the margarine.

2. Put the remaining popover ingredients in a blender and whisk until smooth. leave to stand for 30 minutes.

3. Divide the mixture evenly between the greased Yorkshire pudding tins and bake for 10-15 minutes until puffed and golden.

4. Carefully turn out onto a wire rack, top side up. Don't worry, the popovers will collapse, that's as it should be.

5. Reserving some for garnish, put the fruits in a small saucepan with the soaked cherries and 3tbsps of the elderflower cordial, gently bring to the boil and simmer, stirring very gently, until the liquid has reduced and the mixture is quite thick.

6. When ready to serve, put each popover on a warm plate. reheat the fruits, and when hot, add the remaining elderflower cordial. Spoon the fruits over each popover.

7. Put a scoop of Greek yoghurt to one side and scatter with flaked almonds. Sprinkle with icing sugar.
