Time 45m

Yield Makes 6 large popovers or 10 small popovers

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups whole milk, room temperature
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Vegetable-oil nonstick cooking spray
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, salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar 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.
Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Brush tops of baked popovers with melted butter, then coat in cinnamon sugar.
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.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

6 eggs
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups finely chopped peeled apples
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 to 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar

Steps:

Heat oven to 375°F. Generously grease 10 (4-oz) heatproof pottery custard cups, 10 to 12 regular-size muffin or popover-pan cups with butter. If using custard cups, arrange on cookie sheet. Heat cups in oven just prior to adding batter.
In large bowl, stir together all Popover ingredients except apples just until smooth. Stir in apples. Pour batter into hot cups, filling almost to top.
Bake 50 minutes. Do not open oven door during baking.
After 50 minutes, remove popovers from oven; cut several slits in top of each. Bake 5 to 10 minutes longer.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix Brown Sugar Butter ingredients until well combined.
Immediately remove popovers from cups. Serve warm with Brown Sugar Butter.

Tips:

To achieve the signature hollow center of popovers, ensure that the oven is preheated to the highest temperature possible and that the batter is poured into hot muffin tins.

For the best rise, ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing the batter. This will allow the batter to rise evenly and prevent the popovers from collapsing.

For a crispy exterior, brush the popovers with melted butter before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.

To prevent the popovers from sticking to the muffin tins, grease the tins thoroughly with butter or cooking spray.

Fill the muffin tins only halfway with batter to allow for expansion during baking.

Do not open the oven door during the first 20 minutes of baking. This will prevent the popovers from collapsing.

Serve the popovers warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, honey, or fruit.
