By adding cheese (such as Parmesan), sugar, or spices to the batter, popovers can be suited to any occasion. For ease of use, a popover pan with a nonstick coating is the ideal baking vessel for popovers, but you can also use six-ounce custard dishes or a muffin tin.This recipe was featured on Martha Stewart Living TV.

Yield Makes 6 popovers

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into 6 pieces
2 large eggs, lightly beaten, at room temperature
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F for 20 minutes. Place 1 piece of butter in the bottom of each cup of a six-cup popover tin (or six 1/2-cup custard cups). Place the popover pan on a baking sheet.
  • In a smaller bowl, lightly whisk the eggs until they change color. Whisk in the milk.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well blended. Gently whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until only small lumps are left, and set aside.
  • Place the popover tin and baking sheet in the oven for 4 minutes. At 3 minutes, give the batter a light whisk. Using an oven mitt, remove the hot tin from the oven and immediately divide the batter among the prepared cups. Bake for 25 minutes without opening the oven door. The popovers will be puffy, with crisp brown crusts and hollow, moist interiors. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Start with a cold muffin pan: This will help the popovers rise higher.
  • Use a fork to quickly whisk the custard mixture: This will help prevent lumps.
  • Fill the muffin cups only halfway: The popovers will rise a lot.
  • Bake the popovers at a high temperature: This will help them rise quickly and develop a crispy crust.
  • Let the popovers cool slightly before serving: This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Custard popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. They're perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your popovers turn out perfectly every time.
