Popovers
INGREDIENTS
•
Over-the-Top Popovers
•
Makes 6 standard or 10 small popovers
•
This basic recipe makes 6 large popovers in a standard popover pan or 10 smaller ones in a mini
•
popover pan, standard muffin tin or 1/2-cup custard cups.
•
1 1/2 cups nonfat, whole or low-fat milk
•
3 large eggs
•
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 teaspoons sugar
•
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
•
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, optional
•
-- Pan spray
•
-- Butter or seasoned butter for serving (see recipes)
•
Instructions: Heat the milk in a saucepan until bubbles appear around the edges of the pan. Or,
•
heat in a microwave until hot, but not boiling. Remove from the heat.
•
Mix the eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer or stand mixer using the paddle or whisk
•
attachment at medium speed. Or mix by hand with a whisk, in a blender or a food processor
•
until frothy. While mixing, gradually pour in the hot milk.
•
Whisk together the flour, sugar and salt in a small bowl; add to the egg mixture and blend at
•
low speed until thoroughly incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed. Mix in the melted
•
butter, if using. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
•
When ready to bake, position a rack in the middle or lower third of the oven. Preheat a conventional
•
oven to 375°, a convection oven to 350°. Place the popover pan, standard muffin tin or custard cups
•
in the oven for 2-3 minutes, then remove from the oven and spray the sides and top edges of cups
•
with pan spray.
•
Whisk the batter well and divide among the cups, filling about 3/4 full. Bake until puffed and deeply
•
browned, 35-40 minutes for small popovers, or 45-50 minutes for standard ones. The longer the
•
popovers bake, the less they will deflate. If they are browning unevenly the last 10 minutes,
•
rotate the pan.
•
Remove the popovers from the pan and serve immediately. Or, for crisper ones, remove to a
•
rimmed baking sheet where they can be held uncovered for up to 4 hours. Before serving, preheat
•
the oven to 450° and reheat the popovers 3-5 minutes, or until hot and crisp. Serve with the desired
•
butter.
