Perfect Popovers
Photo Credit: Mark Fleming/Styling by Jen BeauchesneHot and golden, with a perfect crunch on the outside, these popovers are airy and tender on the inside — and even better with a dollop of handmade blueberry or strawberry jam. If you don’t have a popover pan, a muffin tin works fine (the results are just a little less lofty). Recipe from Common Good Soup Kitchen, in Southwest Harbor, Maine.
Yield:
6 popovers
Total Time:
55 minutes minutesHands-on Time:
15 minutes minutes
Ingredients
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
⅔ cup milk
3 large eggs
¼ teaspoon table salt
1½ tablespoons salted butter, cut into 6 thin slices
Butter and jam, for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°. Put a popover pan in the oven while you mix the batter (a muffin tin is fine—the results are just a little less lofty).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, and salt. Remove the hot pan from the oven and put a slice of butter into each well to melt.
Divide the batter among the cups, filling them about halfway. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350° and bake until popovers are puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Serve warm, with butter and jam.
Pretreated 3 inch clay pots make an excellent alternative to popover pans. Simply season them as you would for cast iron pans.
Made these popovers this morning and my goodness they were so light and fluffy. I made a comment that these were better than the popovers at Jordon Pond House in Maine! Seemed easier too. Love them. My new “go to” recipe for popovers. Thank you for sharing this.
Google- up popovers from FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC restaurant in Austin , TX…I think the one I liked best was black pepper and cheese…Wicked goooooood !!!
Do the milk snd eggs set at room temperature first.
I heat the milk instead of the pans. Save the butter to slip inside the hot popovers with the jam! Never fails!
Delicious
I had a recipe for popovers that had black pepper in them along with the other recipe
ingredients. I can’t find it! It was so good.
I’m thankful to get this blueberry popover
recipe and I can’t wait until I try to make it in the morning.
Thank you so very much!
I love Yankee Magazine and tv show.
