Best Mile High Popovers Recipes

POPOVERS

Steps:

• If eggs and milk are cold, before combining, submerge whole eggs in warm water 10 minutes and heat milk until just warm. Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a nonstick popover pan on rack in lowest position.
• After you have combined eggs and milk in a large bowl, whisk together until very frothy. This should only take about 1 minute. Have the flour and salt measured out and ready to go.
• Add flour and salt to egg mixture. We tested out a blender and an electric stand mixer when making the batter, but concluded that whisking by hand produces the most tender, airy popovers.
• Whisk flour and salt into egg mixture just until batter is the consistency of heavy cream with some small lumps remaining. See those air bubbles? They are what will cause the popovers to rise.
• Remove popover pan from oven and coat with cooking spray. If you prefer a standard muffin tin, only coat (and fill) the outer cups; they get better circulation in the oven. (Also, reduce baking time by 5 minutes.)
• Fill popover cups about three-quarters full with batter. Bake 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until golden brown and dry to the touch, about 20 minutes more.
• Popovers lose their crunch if they linger in the pan, so turn them out on a wire rack immediately and poke a small opening in the side of each with a paring knife to let the steam escape. Serve right away.

MILE HIGH POPOVERS

Steps:

• Beat eggs until foamy, then add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. Do not overmix.
• Refrigerate 1 to 8 hours.
• Pour batter into popover cups which have been buttered or sprayed, and place in cold oven. Turn heat to 375, bake 30 minutes without opening oven door. Pierce the side of each one to allow steam to escape before continuing to bake them 10 to 15 minutes longer, until firm and golden.
• Let cool briefly, the pierce each one again to release steam. Serve while warm.
• Note: if not pierced, they will still be delicious, just a little wetter inside.

EASY POPOVERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Position rack on the lower half of your oven so that your popovers have room to rise. Place the un-greased popover pan in the oven to warm.
• In a food processor or blender, combine the eggs, milk and salt. Process for a few seconds until just combined. You should not see streaks of yolk.
• Scrape down sides of your blender or food processor bowl to get any flour off the sides. There should not be any big lumps in the batter.
• The batter should be slightly frothy on top, as shown in the photo above.
• Carefully remove heated popover pan from oven and spray well with PAM or other cooking spray.
• Fill each mold about 3/4 high.
• Place pan on lower rack in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Do not open the oven door.
• Do not open the oven door for first 10 minutes. After 10 min you can check periodically for doneness. Popovers are done when they are a deep golden brown.
