Popovers
Crisp, puffy popovers with moist tender centers are a close cousin to Yorkshire pudding. Serve them right from the oven with roast beef, lamb, or pork.
Servings: 12 popovers
Ingredients
- 2 c. all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 tsp. salt
- 4 lg. eggs
- 2 c. milk divided, room temperature
- 2 T. butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously grease 12 deep custard cups (5 oz. each) or 16 medium muffin cups.
- Sift flour and salt together, set aside. With a hand mixer, beat eggs until light and fluffy, add flour and 1 cup milk. Continue to beat slowly until all flour is moistened. Gradually add remaining milk and melted butter, beat until smooth (about 1 to 2 minutes).
- Fill custard or muffin cups ½ full. Bake for about 40 minutes or until deep golden brown. Serve immediately from pan.
- Cook's Note: It is important that the oven door not be opened during baking, a blast of cold air on the popovers before their walls are set may make the steam condense and the walls collapse.

I just printed out the recipe for popovers I like the ability to adapt the amount of popovers that you want to make and the recipe adjusts.
