FOOLPROOF POPOVERS

Steps:

• Special equipment: muffin tin
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a pastry brush, coat 8 muffin cups with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter and put the tin in the oven for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the eggs in a blender until light yellow. Add the warmed milk and blend. Add the flour, salt and remaining melted butter, and blend until smooth. Pour the batter into the warmed muffin tin and return it to the oven to bake until golden, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

POPOVER PAN POPOVER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Spray the cups of a 6-cup popover pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Pour 1/2 teaspoon of the melted butter into each cup.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and the milk, then whisk in the remaining 1 Tbs. of butter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt, then whisk in the egg mixture. Whisk vigorously until smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Divide the batter among the 6 cups and bake for 20 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 325 and bake for 15 minutes more.
• Remove from oven, they should easily come out of the pan (thanks to butter in bottom), put them on a wire rack to cool.
• Serve plain (my fave), or with butter or jam for breakfast, or with roast beef and au jus.
