Susans Popovers Recipes

SUSAN'S POPOVERS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease and heat the popover pans in the oven.
• 2. Combine all the ingredients except 1 tablespoon melted butter. Do not over-beat the batter. Batter will be thin and have small lumps of flour.
• 3. Brush the heated popover pans with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Fill each well about 1/2 full with the batter.
• 4. Bake on middle rack of of oven for 15 minutes. Do Not Open Oven Door, but reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 20 minutes. Popovers will be a nice golden brown and have a crusty outside.
• 5. Remove from oven. With a toothpick, poke a small hole in each popover to release steam. Remove from pans and enjoy while hot.
• 6. May be eaten for breakfast with butter and jelly; or with main dishes as dinner rolls. Popovers will be crusty on the outside, and very soft with air pockets on the inside.

POPOVERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Pour a little oil into the holes of a deep 12-hole muffin tin or 12 popover tins, making sure the oil coats the bases in a thin layer. Slide into the oven for 10 mins to heat the oil.
• Whisk the flour and eggs together in a bowl with a pinch of salt until you have a smooth, thick paste. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously until you have a thin batter that's the consistency of double cream.
• Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven and quickly pour in the batter, filling the tins half full. The batter should sizzle immediately as it hits the oil. Bake for 10 mins, then reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake for 10-15 mins more until the popovers are golden, crisp and well-risen. Serve straightaway.
