Categories     Breads

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Warm the eggs by placing them UN-CRACKED in a medium bowl and cover with hot water (as hot as your tap will go). Let them sit for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and move the oven rack to a low position (to prepare for huge popovers!). Grease the popover pan thoroughly inside each cup as well as around the top edges.
  • With your whisk, beat together the eggs, milk and salt until they are combined. The yolks should be completely blended in.
  • Add the flour and whisk until the mixture is frothy and all large lumps are gone. Then quickly stir in the melted butter.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared popover cups. They should be about 3/4 of the way full.
  • Bake the popovers for 20 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350°F. Bake for another 10 or 15 minutes. The popovers will be very golden brown.
  • My preference is to serve immediately and enjoy them warm!

POPOVERS



Popovers image

Popovers begin with essentially the same batter as Yorkshire pudding. Purists will tell you that what makes Yorkshire pudding so great is that it's cooked in beef drippings. But butter isn't a bad stand-in, and popovers are pretty easy. You can buy special popover pans, with deeper, narrower cups which force the tops up in a more pronounced fashion, but I wouldn't bother. Any muffin pan will produce a perfect popover if the butter is hot, the batter is rich and smooth and the baker is patient. But the patience ends when the popovers are done: they must be eaten right away.

Time 45m

Yield 12 popovers

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried), optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of melted butter in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan or a popover tin and put it in oven while you make batter.
  • Beat together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon butter, sugar and salt. Beat in the flour a little bit at a time and add thyme if using; mixture should be smooth.
  • Carefully remove muffin tin from oven and fill each cup about halfway. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 15 minutes more, or until popovers are puffed and browned. Do not check popovers until they have baked for a total of 30 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and serve hot.

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.

Categories     Quick Breads

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.

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.

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing tin
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a popover tin.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pour over flour mixture, and fold until just blended.
  • Fill the popover cups two-thirds to three-quarters full.
  • Transfer tin to oven, and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until well browned and crusty, about 20 minutes. Remove popovers from the oven, and unmold onto a rack. Puncture the sides with a sharp knife to let steam escape, and serve immediately.

PREHEATED OVEN POPOVERS



Preheated Oven Popovers image

The popover is a culinary marvel, a loose batter that, with the aid of a hot oven, expands like a golden cumulus cloud, producing a crisp, hollow pastry with a soft, eggy interior. While the mixture is very similar to crepe batter, when you confine it to deep, narrow, muffinlike molds, the surface of the batter sets and the air is trapped, so that the pastry has nowhere to go but up and out, creating a gravity-defying bubble.

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 popovers

Number Of Ingredients 6

Unsalted butter, for greasing the molds
6 large eggs
2 cups milk
6 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Generously grease 10 4-ounce heatproof pottery custard cups (or a muffin or popover pan) with butter. Arrange the cups (or muffin or popover pan) on a baking sheet.
  • Beat the eggs lightly, then add the milk and melted butter and stir to combine. Gradually stir in the flour and salt. Beat just until the mixture is smooth. Do not overbeat. If the mixture is not smooth, strain it.
  • Pour the mixture into a pitcher and then pour into the custard cups. Fill the cups almost to the top.
  • Bake for 50 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking.
  • After 50 minutes, remove the popovers from the oven, cut several slits in the top of each and return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Immediately remove the popovers from the cups.

Tips:

  • Before filling the popover pan, preheat the oven and grease the cups.
  • For a crispy exterior, use melted butter instead of oil to grease the cups.
  • Use cold ingredients for the batter to prevent the popovers from becoming dense.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in tough, dense popovers.
  • Fill the popover cups no more than two-thirds full to allow room for expansion.
  • Bake the popovers until they are golden brown and puffed up high.
  • Serve the popovers immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or gravy.

Conclusion:

With the right recipes and techniques, you can easily make delicious popovers at home using a popover pan. Popovers are a versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be served plain or topped with your favorite sweet or savory ingredients. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, I encourage you to try making popovers using the tips and recipes provided in this article. You may be surprised at how easy and enjoyable it is.
