PERFECT POPOVERS



Perfect Popovers image

By adding cheese (such as Parmesan), sugar, or spices to the batter, popovers can be suited to any occasion. 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.

PERFECT POPOVERS



Perfect Popovers image

I know there are a lot of recipes for popovers on 'Zaar, in fact I have three other popover recipes listed, but these came out perfect for me (puffed up very high) and I didn't even have to pre-heat the popover tins either! I did use popover pans though and if using popover or muffin tins it is very important only to fill them halfway. Recipe source: local newspaper.

Time 40m

Yield 6 popovers

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup 2% low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450-degrees F.
  • Grease a 6-cup popover pan (or use muffin tins)--very important to grease pan very well. I don't think Pam is good enough - I used both Pam and butter to grease the tins.
  • In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup whisk together flour and salt.
  • In another mixing bowl or large measuring cup (I used a 2-cup measuring cup), whisk milk and eggs together until blended.
  • Add egg/milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring well with a whisk. (If you use the large mesuring cup (mine was 4-cups) it is very easy to pour into the popover tins.).
  • Pour batter into the prepared popover cups.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR WHILE POPOVERS ARE COOKING.
  • Reduce heat to 350-degrees F and bake 20 minutes more.
  • Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 6 popovers

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into 6 pieces
2 large eggs, lightly beaten, at room temperature
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F for 20 minutes. Place 1 piece of butter in the bottom of each cup of a six-cup popover tin (or six 1/2-cup custard cups). Place the popover pan on a baking sheet.
  • In a smaller bowl, lightly whisk the eggs until they change color. Whisk in the milk.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well blended. Gently whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until only small lumps are left, and set aside.
  • Place the popover tin and baking sheet in the oven for 4 minutes. At 3 minutes, give the batter a light whisk. Using an oven mitt, remove the hot tin from the oven and immediately divide the batter among the prepared cups. Bake for 25 minutes without opening the oven door. The popovers will be puffy, with crisp brown crusts and hollow, moist interiors. Serve immediately.

1/2 teaspoon salt

Nutrition Facts : Calories 120, Carbohydrate 18 g, Cholesterol 75 mg, Fat 1/2, Fiber 1 g, Protein 6 g, SaturatedFat 1 g, ServingSize 1 Serving, Sodium 240 mg

Tips:

  • Use the right ingredients. Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients, especially the eggs and milk. Cold ingredients work best.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense popovers. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest. Allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This allows the gluten to relax and results in taller popovers.
  • Preheat the oven and popover pan thoroughly. A hot oven and pan are essential for creating the perfect popovers.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking. Opening the oven door will cause the popovers to deflate.
  • Serve the popovers immediately. Popovers are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect popovers every time. These light and airy pastries are a delicious addition to any breakfast or brunch menu. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey.
