There are three secrets to great popovers: Make sure the pan is hot before you pour in the batter, fill each section not more than half full and no peeking while they're in the oven!

Time 40m

Yield 12 popovers

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus softened butter for greasing pans
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups milk, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Generously grease aluminum popover pans or Pyrex custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for exactly 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 6 large popovers or 10 small popovers

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups whole milk, room temperature
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Vegetable-oil nonstick cooking spray
2 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • If eggs and milk are cold, before combining, submerge whole eggs in warm water 10 minutes and heat milk until just warm. Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a nonstick popover pan on rack in lowest position.
  • After you have combined eggs and milk in a large bowl, whisk together with vanilla until very frothy. This should only take about 1 minute. Have the flour and salt measured out and ready to go.
  • Add flour, sugar, and salt to egg mixture. We tested out a blender and an electric stand mixer when making the batter, but concluded that whisking by hand produces the most tender, airy popovers.
  • Whisk flour and salt into egg mixture just until batter is the consistency of heavy cream with some small lumps remaining. See those air bubbles? They are what will cause the popovers to rise.
  • Remove popover pan from oven and coat with cooking spray. If you prefer a standard muffin tin, only coat (and fill) the outer cups; they get better circulation in the oven. (Also, reduce baking time by 5 minutes.)
  • Fill popover cups about three-quarters full with batter. Sprinkle chocolate over batter-filled popover cups. Bake 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until golden brown and dry to the touch, about 20 minutes more.
  • Popovers lose their crunch if they linger in the pan, so turn them out on a wire rack immediately and poke a small opening in the side of each with a paring knife to let the steam escape. Serve right away.

PERFECT POPOVERS



Perfect Popovers image

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the popovers will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough popovers.
  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature. If the oven is not hot enough, the popovers will not rise properly.
  • Bake the popovers until they are golden brown. Underbaked popovers will be dense and doughy.
  • Serve the popovers warm. Popovers are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Dark chocolate popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect popovers every time. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give dark chocolate popovers a try.
