PERFECT POPOVERS
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.

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.
PERFECT POPOVERS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Adjust the oven rack to the lower third of the oven; preheat the oven to 400F. Grease each popover cup generously with softened butter or solid vegetable shortening. Combine the eggs, milk, melted butter, flour and salt in a blender or food processor; process for about 40 seconds. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times and blend until the mixture is completely smooth. To make by hand, whisk together the eggs, milk and butter in a large bowl. Add the flour and salt and beat until very smooth. Pour the batter into the greased cups, filling them half to two-thirds full. Bake until the popovers are puffed and golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking or the popovers will collapse. Yields 6-8, depending on the size of the baking cups Per popover: 105 calories, 4 g protein, 14 g carbohydrate, 4 g fat (2 g saturated), 61 mg cholesterol, 177 mg sodium, 0 fiber.
Tips:
- Use the right ingredients. Make sure your flour is fresh and that your eggs are at room temperature.
- Preheat your oven. This is essential for popovers to rise properly.
- Grease your muffin tins well. This will help the popovers to release easily.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the popovers tough.
- Fill the muffin tins only halfway. The popovers will rise a lot, so you don't want to overfill the tins.
- Bake the popovers for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve the popovers immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch item. By following these tips, you can make sure that your popovers turn out perfect every time.
