Jordan Pond Popovers Recipe

Jordan Pond Popovers are airy, tall pastries made from a simple batter of milk, flour, eggs, and leavening. The batter is gently blended and rested before baking in preheated popover pans for a crisp golden exterior and hollow, tender interior. Served warm, they pair well with a rich blackberry jam butter and a salted caramel sauce made with sugar, butter, cream, and salt for added indulgence.

Ingredients

Popovers:
  • 1½ cups milk whole
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 egg room temperature
  • non-stick baking spray
Blackberry Jam Butter:
  • 1½ ticks butter room temperature
  • ⅓ cup blackberry jam
Caramel Sauce:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter at room temperature and cut up into pieces, unsalted
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Popovers:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Microwave the milk for 2 minutes, just until it's lukewarm.
  2. Add the ingredients: milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and eggs to a blender and blend until smooth. Stop, scrape the blender sides, and mix until everything is combined and smooth. Let the batter rest for about an hour at room temperature.
  3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Generously spray the popover pan with baking spray and also preheat it. Fill each popover cup almost to the top with batter.
  4. Place the popover pan on a baking sheet and transfer to oven.
  5. Bake at 450 F degrees for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375 F degrees and bake for another 17-20 minutes or until the popovers are golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and serve warm.
Blackberry Jam Butter:
  1. While the popovers are baking, work on the blackberry butter. In the bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed, whip the butter for one minute, add the blackberry jam, and whisk until combined, making sure to stop the mixer and scrape the bowl walls with a rubber spatula.
  2. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the butter onto a plate and set aside.
  3. Serve with warm popovers.

Notes

  • Resting the batter for about an hour at room temperature improves popover texture.
  • Preheat the popover pans and spray generously to prevent sticking and aid rise.
  • The caramel sauce requires careful melting and stirring of sugar before adding butter and cream.
  • This recipe can be doubled for larger batches, considering pan capacity and cooking time adjustments.
