Popovers

By DWatkins23

Popovers are flaky dinner bread that should be served HOT... I served with a whipped butter/jam. Simply soften the butter and whip together your choice of jam with a fork put on the table while soft.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus softened butter for greasing pans
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups milk, at room temperature

Preparation

Step 1

Generously grease aluminum popover pans or Pyrex custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for exactly 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek.

Notes:
There are three secrets to great popovers: Make sure the pan is hot before you pour in the batter, fill each section not more than half full and no peeking while they're in the oven!

I mix all the ingredients in a blender. If you mix wet ingredients first and add dry ingredients while the blender is running the flour incorporates easily. I also use salted butter and eliminate the salt.
