POPOVER PAN POPOVER RECIPE



Popover Pan Popover Recipe image

This recipe came from the packaging on the popover pan I bought from Williams Sonoma. I've tried a few other recipes on this site that call for starting with a cold oven, but this one turned out much better. This is half the recipe on the package, so it makes one 6 cup pan worth. Unfortunately I cannot provide guidance on how to convert this recipe to a muffin pan, hopefully others may post notes.

Time 45m

Yield 6 Popovers, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup milk (I use 1%)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Spray the cups of a 6-cup popover pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Pour 1/2 teaspoon of the melted butter into each cup.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and the milk, then whisk in the remaining 1 Tbs. of butter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt, then whisk in the egg mixture. Whisk vigorously until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the batter among the 6 cups and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 325 and bake for 15 minutes more.
  • Remove from oven, they should easily come out of the pan (thanks to butter in bottom), put them on a wire rack to cool.
  • Serve plain (my fave), or with butter or jam for breakfast, or with roast beef and au jus.

NEW POPOVER PAN RECIPE



New Popover Pan Recipe image

I recently got a large-sized popover pan, and wanted to try the recipe that came with it. I like that the batter can be mixed quickly by hand. Popovers are a most interesting quick bread: they don't use yeast or chemical leavenings to make them rise. They rely on steam to form oversize, crispy breads that pop up 3 times their...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 c whole milk
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 c all purpose flour
soft butter for greasing pans

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease 6 wells of a large popover pan with soft butter and a pastry brush.
  • 2. Use a large mixing bowl and a wire whisk. Beat the eggs, milk, and salt together. Mix in the flour until completely smooth. Continue mixing for a few minutes to develop the gluten. Add the melted butter after the gluten is developed so the fat will not interfere with the gluten development.
  • 3. Fill the prepared cups only a scant half-full. Bake for 40 minutes on the center rack. The popovers will dry and become rigid.
  • 4. Turn off the oven, open the door, and with a sharp knife, quickly make a 1" slit in the side of each popover to release the steam. Close the oven door and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. During this period, the interior of the popovers should become dry and sturdy.
  • 5. Lift the popovers from the pan immediately after removing the pan from the oven by grasping the tops with an oven mitt or glove.
  • 6. Serve plain, or with butter and jam. Best served hot, straight from the oven. ***They can also be cut open and filled with sweetened berries and topped with whipped cream for a shortcake-type dessert.***

Tips:

  • Use the right pan: A popover pan is essential for making popovers. It has deep, straight sides that allow the popovers to rise evenly. If you don't have a popover pan, you can use a muffin tin, but the popovers will not be as tall.
  • Make sure your ingredients are cold: The cold ingredients will help the popovers rise higher. Cold butter will also help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the popovers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Preheat your oven: A hot oven is essential for making popovers. Preheat the oven to 450°F before you start making the batter.
  • Bake the popovers until they are golden brown: The popovers are done baking when they are golden brown and have a hollow sound when you tap them.

Conclusion:

Popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for special occasions or a lazy weekend morning. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect popovers every time.
