Recipe: Perfect Popovers Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Popovers. Popovers "pop" better when a) the milk and eggs are room temperature before mixing and b) the pan is preheated. If you follow those two easy steps along with this recipe you'll have perfect popovers every time. I've made this recipe several times and will continue to do so!

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 have Popovers using 5 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.

Ingredients of Popovers

  1. You need 2 tbsp of unsalted butter.

  2. It’s 3 of eggs.

  3. Prepare 1 cup of milk.

  4. It’s 1 cup of all-purpose flour.

  5. You need 1/2 tsp of salt.

You can buy special popover pans, with deeper, narrower cups which force the tops up in a more pronounced.

Beat eggs slightly in medium bowl with fork or wire whisk.

A popular restaurant was noted for the giant popovers they served with their meals.

I decided to do the same for special birthdays and other occasions.

Popovers instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F..

  2. Spray the cups of the popover pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour 1/2 tsp melted butter into each cup..

  3. Wisk together the eggs, milk, and remaining butter. Add in salt then flour. Wisk until smooth..

  4. Divide the batter between the cups. Bake for 20 minutes..

  5. Reduce the temperature to 325°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes..

  6. Remove from cups and let cool before serving..

The deeper your baking cups, the higher your popovers will rise.

Our aluminized-steel pan delivers a quick burst of heat, which converts the moisture in the batter to steam, causing it to "pop over" the sides and rise dramatically.

The tapered cups are set apart to promote air circulation.

In my humble opinion, popovers are best served warm.

If the popovers seem to be browning too quickly, position an oven rack at the very top of the oven, and put a cookie sheet on it, to shield the popovers' tops from direct heat.
