MINI POPOVERS



Mini PopOvers image

When I was younger, my father would take us out to eat on a Friday or Saturday night to the Country Tavern. It is here that we discovered PopOvers. My Dad and I loved these wonderful puffs of delight. After many years of adjusting this recipe I came up with this. A miniature version. This is in memory of my Dad. Miss you Dad....

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 mini muffin pans
1 c sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 c milk
1 Tbsp butter, melted
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Get all ingredients together.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Generously butter the muffin tins, and set aside.
  • 3. In a mixing bowl, stir together the sifted flour and the salt. Wisk in the milk, melted butter, and slightly beaten eggs. Wisk until well blended. The batter should have the consistency of thick cream. Set aside. Give a stir just prior to filling tins.
  • 4. When the oven is preheated place buttered tins into the center of the oven, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully, you don't want the butter to burn. Remove tins after about 2 minutes and fill with batter no more than two-thirds full.
  • 5. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes. Lower oven to 350 degrees and continue to bake 15-20 more minutes or until well risen and rich golden brown. Do not open the oven door. Even if they look done. Brown is good, golden brown is much better. Even if they look like they are done and you still have 10 minutes on the clock. Let them cook. If you don't they will have an eggy texture.
  • 6. You can make it your own. Apple butter or cinnamon butter go great. Instead of vanilla use almond extract. Drizzle with pure maple syrup or honey. Add some shredded cheese. You will just love these, and they are worth the effort. Enjoy.

Yield 6-8 people

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Grease your mini muffin pan and put in the fridge to chill while you're making the batter. Crack your eggs into a bowl and beat well. Then add the flour, milk, and salt and mix everything together-don't worry about the lumps, it'll probably be pretty lumpy. Pour the batter into the mini muffin tray-about 3/4 of the way for each one. Put in the oven and THEN turn the oven on to 400 degrees F. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and then take them out of the oven. Serve as soon as possible.

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups milk, room temp.
2 eggs
5 tbs butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar + 1/2 tsp cinnamon, combined

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 450. Grease mini muffin tin and sprinkle cinnamon sugar in each tin. Whisk together flour, sugar, slat, and cinnamon until there are no lumps. In large measuring cup, mix milk, eggs, 2 tbsp butter, and stir into dry ingredients until just combined. Pour into tins and sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top. Bake 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350, and continue to bake for another 8-10 minutes. Brush with remaining melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Tips:

  • Use a popover pan with deep cups to ensure even cooking and prevent the popovers from toppling over.
  • Preheat the popover pan in a hot oven before adding the batter. This helps the popovers rise quickly and evenly.
  • Make sure the batter is well-mixed and free of lumps before pouring it into the popover pan.
  • Do not overfill the popover cups. The batter should come no more than ⅔ of the way up the sides of the cups.
  • Bake the popovers in a hot oven until they are golden brown and puffed up. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the popovers, but they should take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove the popovers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Mini popovers are a delicious and versatile breakfast or snack that can be enjoyed on their own or topped with a variety of sweet or savory ingredients. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste.
