Popovers
Description
This classic Popovers recipe involves blending flour, eggs, milk, and salt into a smooth batter resembling crepe batter. The recipe stresses the importance of generously buttering the popover pan before preheating it briefly in the oven. Pouring the batter three-quarters full ensures they rise properly without spilling over. Baking at 400°F produces golden, puffed rolls with crisp edges and a soft, hollow center formed from steam expansion. A baking sheet placed below in the oven catches any batter drips.
Popovers can be served warm with butter or other spreads, making them a versatile addition to breakfast, brunch, or dinner menus. Their neutral flavor allows for sweet or savory pairings.
The notes recommend storing leftovers up to 1-2 days sealed airtight, though fresh popovers are preferred. Additionally, baked popovers freeze well for up to 3 months and can be reheated in a 350°F oven until warmed through and crisped again. Variations using cheese or herbs are possible to customize flavor.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoon butter softened, for greasing the pan
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 4 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Prep Pan: Grease the popover/muffin tray well with the butter. You can either use softened butter to easily grease the popover cups, or melted butter and use a brush to thoroughly brush the cups. You can pour any leftover butter in the bottom of each cup. Place the pan in the oven and preheat it for 2 minutes.
- Blend Ingredients: Add all remaining ingredients to a blender and blend until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. The batter will look similar to a crepe batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter in the preheated muffin cups ¾ of the way through. You should have enough to make 12 popovers. Transfer the pan to the oven on the middle rack and place a large baking sheet on the lower rack, in case there's any spillage. Bake for 30 minutes. Make sure to check them so they don't over-brown. Gently slip them out of the pan and serve.
Notes
- Butter the popover pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and promote even rising.
- Place a baking sheet under the pan in the oven to catch any batter overflow.
- Fill the popover cups ¾ full, as overfilling can cause messy spills.
- Store popovers in an airtight container for 1-2 days, but they are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
- Leftover baked popovers can be frozen up to 3 months; reheat directly in a 350°F oven for about 8 minutes.
