**Enormous Popovers: A Delightfully Airy Treat**
Popovers are a classic breakfast or brunch dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. These light and fluffy pastries are made with a simple batter of flour, milk, eggs, and butter, and they can be flavored with a variety of ingredients, such as cheese, herbs, or fruit. This article features two delicious popover recipes: a classic popovers recipe and a chocolate chip popovers recipe. Whether you prefer a traditional or a more decadent version, you're sure to find a recipe that you'll love.
**Classic Popovers:**
This classic popovers recipe yields 6 large popovers that are perfect for a crowd. The popovers are made with a simple batter of flour, milk, eggs, and butter, and they are baked in a hot oven until they are golden brown and puffed up. Serve them warm with butter, jam, or honey.
**Chocolate Chip Popovers:**
These chocolate chip popovers are a fun and easy way to dress up a classic dish. The popovers are made with the same basic batter as the classic popovers, but they are also studded with chocolate chips. The chocolate chips add a delightful sweetness and richness to the popovers, making them a perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
**Tips for Making Perfect Popovers:**
- Use a high-quality flour. A bread flour or all-purpose flour will work well for popovers.
- Make sure the eggs and milk are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the batter to rise properly.
- Preheat the oven to a high temperature before baking the popovers. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
- Don't open the oven door while the popovers are baking. This will cause them to deflate.
- Serve the popovers warm with your favorite toppings.

Steps:
- Warm the eggs by placing them UN-CRACKED in a medium bowl and cover with hot water (as hot as your tap will go). Let them sit for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and move the oven rack to a low position (to prepare for huge popovers!). Grease the popover pan thoroughly inside each cup as well as around the top edges.
- With your whisk, beat together the eggs, milk and salt until they are combined. The yolks should be completely blended in.
- Add the flour and whisk until the mixture is frothy and all large lumps are gone. Then quickly stir in the melted butter.
- Divide the batter between the prepared popover cups. They should be about 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake the popovers for 20 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350°F. Bake for another 10 or 15 minutes. The popovers will be very golden brown.
- My preference is to serve immediately and enjoy them warm!

Steps:
- 1. Set oven rack in middle position. Preheat oven to 375. Coat eight 8 oz. ovenproof china custard cups with vegetable spray. Put custard cups on foil lined jelly roll pan; foil should be shiny side up.
- 2. Whisk eggs in large bowl til frothy. Add milk and cooled, melted butter and whisk to combine. Whisk in flour and salt. There will be some lumps. Fill each custard cup with 3/4 cup batter.
- 3. Bake popovers on jelly roll pan about 1 hour or til tall and buttery brown. Don't open oven door while popovers are cooking.
- 4. Remove pan from oven; leave oven on. Puncture nick of each popover on four sides to allow steam to escape. Return pan to oven and bake popovers 10 minutes more. Remove popovers form oven and turn out of cups. Serve at once with butter or jam. Popovers are best eaten the day they are made, but leftovers may be stored in a plastic bag at room temperature and reheated the next day in the oven. They will be neither as light nor as crisp as the day they were fresh, but they will still be tasty.

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 until very frothy. This should only take about 1 minute. Have the flour and salt measured out and ready to go.
- Add flour 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. 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.
POPOVERS
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!

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.
PERFECT POPOVERS
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.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Pour a little oil into the holes of a deep 12-hole muffin tin or 12 popover tins, making sure the oil coats the bases in a thin layer. Slide into the oven for 10 mins to heat the oil.
- Whisk the flour and eggs together in a bowl with a pinch of salt until you have a smooth, thick paste. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously until you have a thin batter that's the consistency of double cream.
- Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven and quickly pour in the batter, filling the tins half full. The batter should sizzle immediately as it hits the oil. Bake for 10 mins, then reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake for 10-15 mins more until the popovers are golden, crisp and well-risen. Serve straightaway.

Tips:
- Before you start, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature. This will help the popovers rise evenly.
- Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating will make the popovers tough.
- Fill the popover cups only halfway. They will rise a lot during baking.
- Bake the popovers in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and prevent them from collapsing.
- Don't open the oven door during baking. This will cause the popovers to fall.
- Serve the popovers warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or gravy.
Conclusion:
Popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a light and fluffy pastry that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give popovers a try.
