Regular Popovers

By Clarabell

Popovers are a favorite breakfast treat! Make these Regular Popovers on Sunday if you meal plan so you can have them during the week, or bring them to your next brunch potluck.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 even pieces
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Oil or spray (with nonstick vegetable oil spray) popover pan. Preheat oven to 400°F and set rack in middle of oven. Preheat popover pan in oven about 2 minutes.

Blend flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until mixture is the consistency of heavy cream, about 1 to 2 minutes. This can be mixed in a food processor, blender, electric mixer, or with a hand mixer. The batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Batter should be used at room temperature.

Place 1 small piece of butter in each cup and place back in preheated oven until butter is bubbly, about 1 minute. Fill each cup half full (or ¾ full) with batter and bake 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300°F and continue baking 20 minutes.

Makes 6 popovers.

Popovers are best right from the oven.
Serve with butter, jams, or other sweet or savory spreads.
