NEIMAN MARCUS POPOVERS RECIPE - (3.7/5)
Provided by Yvette
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450F. Place the milk in a bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until warm to the touch. Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl. Crack the eggs into the work bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk and beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until foamy and pale in color. Turn down the mixer to low and add the warm milk. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Turn the machine off and let the batter rest for 1 hour at room temperature. Spray a popover tin generously with nonstick spray. Fill the popover cups almost to the top with the batter and place the popover tin on a cookie sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Turn down the oven temperature to 375F and bake for 30 to 35 minutes longer, until the popovers are a deep golden brown on the outside and airy on the inside. Turn out the popovers and serve hot with strawberry butter. CHEF'S NOTE: The key to making great popovers is having the eggs and milk warm before mixing. It is also important to let the batter sit for an hour before baking it. Popovers do not freeze well and pre-made batter has a tendency not to work properly the next day. To make this recipe, you will need a Teflon-lined popover pan with a 12-cup capacity. These are available at kitchen equipment and specialty stores, and some cooking mail-order catalogs. (Editor's Note: muffin pans or custard cups may also be used to make popovers.)

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and prepped. This helps the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
- Oven Temperature: Ensure your oven is preheated to the right temperature before baking the popovers. This is crucial for achieving the desired rise and texture.
- Batter Consistency: The batter should be smooth and pourable, not too thick or too thin. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, add a little more flour.
- Filling the Popover Tins: Fill the popover tins only halfway, as the popovers will rise significantly during baking.
- Baking Time: Bake the popovers for the specified time or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the popovers to deflate.
