CORNMEAL POPOVERS RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Cornmeal Popovers Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by mirelsonp

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fine white cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 3/4 cups whole milk
4 large eggs
1/4 cup salted butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Place a 12-cup muffin pan in oven. Pre-heat oven to 450°F. (Do not remove pan.) 2. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together milk and eggs in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk milk mixture into flour mixture until well blended. 3. Remove muffin pan from oven. Spoon 1 teaspoon melted butter into each cup of hot muffin pan; return muffin pan to oven for 2 minutes. 4. Remove muffin pan. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. (Centers will be moist.) Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best results, spoon the batter into the molds rather than pouring it, to ensure that no air bubbles are introduced into the mixture.
  • Place the molds in a preheated oven to create steam and help the popovers rise.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking, as this will cause the popovers to fall.
  • Serve popovers warm with your favorite fillings, such as butter, preserves, or gravy.

Cornmeal popovers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
