Popovers


Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole or 2 percent milk, at room temperature
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Melted butter for greasing the popover cups

Instructions

1. Position a rack on the lowest rung of the oven and pre-heat the oven to 425 F. Butter or spray nine 3/4 glass custard cups or 10 1/2-cup muffin cups. If you're using custard cups, place them on a jelly roll pan, leaving space between each cup. If you're using muffin pans, you'll need to use two 12-hole muffin tins; to give the popovers ample air circulation, you won't be filling all the holes.

2. Pour all the ingredients into the container of a blender and whirl until smooth (You can also use a food processor or rotary or hand-held beater.) If the batter is lumpy, strain it until lumps are gone.

3. For the custards cups, pour 1/3 cup of batter into each cup, dividing any extra batter among the cups. For the muffin cups, use 1/4 cup of batter for each cup, filling alternate cups in each tin so that every popover has a puffing space. Bake, without opening the oven door, for 25 minutes, until the popovers are puffed, nicely browned, and crisp on the exterior. Turn the temperature down to 350 F and bake for another 15 - 20 minutes to help dry out the interior, which, no matter what you do, will always be a little doughy in the center. Slice the popover in half and add a small scoop of ice cream and top with honey.

4. Serve immediately.
