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.

PERFECT POPOVERS



Perfect Popovers image

I know there are a lot of recipes for popovers on 'Zaar, in fact I have three other popover recipes listed, but these came out perfect for me (puffed up very high) and I didn't even have to pre-heat the popover tins either! I did use popover pans though and if using popover or muffin tins it is very important only to fill them halfway. Recipe source: local newspaper.

Time 40m

Yield 6 popovers

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup 2% low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450-degrees F.
  • Grease a 6-cup popover pan (or use muffin tins)--very important to grease pan very well. I don't think Pam is good enough - I used both Pam and butter to grease the tins.
  • In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup whisk together flour and salt.
  • In another mixing bowl or large measuring cup (I used a 2-cup measuring cup), whisk milk and eggs together until blended.
  • Add egg/milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring well with a whisk. (If you use the large mesuring cup (mine was 4-cups) it is very easy to pour into the popover tins.).
  • Pour batter into the prepared popover cups.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR WHILE POPOVERS ARE COOKING.
  • Reduce heat to 350-degrees F and bake 20 minutes more.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a hot oven: Popovers need a high temperature to rise quickly and evenly. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) before baking.
  • Use the right pan: A popover pan is the best choice for making popovers, but you can also use a muffin pan or ramekins. Just make sure that the pan is well-greased.
  • Don't open the oven door: Resist the temptation to open the oven door while the popovers are baking. This will cause them to fall.
  • Serve immediately: Popovers are best served hot out of the oven. They can be filled with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey.

Conclusion:

Popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these light and fluffy pastries right at home. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give popovers a try.
