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.

BULLOCK'S TEA ROOM POPOVERS



Bullock's Tea Room Popovers image

Bullock's Tea Room was noted for their delicious and very popular popovers. They are easy to make. The secret is to place the custard cups far apart enough on the baking sheet so that all sides of each popover get the same blast of heat needed to rise evenly. Muffin tins don't work well with popovers. This recipe makes a high-rising puffy popover, that can be served at any meal of the day.

  • Beat eggs in a bowl, then beat in milk until blended.
  • Combine flour and salt; work butter into the flour; then gradually add flour mixture to milk and egg mixture and blend well.

Tips:

  • To make sure your popovers rise properly, use fresh baking powder and baking soda.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the popovers tough.
  • Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the popovers. If the oven is not hot enough, the popovers will not rise properly.
  • Bake the popovers in a preheated muffin tin. This will help them to rise evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door while the popovers are baking. This can cause them to fall.
  • Serve the popovers immediately after they are baked. They are best when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Custard popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. They are perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect popovers every time. So next time you are looking for something special to serve, give custard popovers a try. You won't be disappointed!
