Popovers

By fsilver4

This popover recipe is the absolute best. Unfortunately, I have lost it so many times when I wanted to make it, so I'm incredibly grateful that my husband bought me a Demy so that I would never lose it again.
Adding chopped herbs to this recipe will not deflate the popovers...just remember, DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR UNTIL THE POPOVERS ARE DONE!!!!!

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 large eggs/ room temperature
• 1 1/4 cup milk
• l tablespoon unsalted butter melted

Preparation

Step 1

Oil or spray popover pan. Preheat oven to 400* and set rack in middle oven.

Blend flour, salt, eggs, milk and melted butter until mixture is the consistency of heavy cream or pancake batter, it takes about l to 2 minutes. I use an electric blender. The batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Batter should be used at room temperature before baking.

Place pan in oven for about 2 minutes. 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 with batter and bake 20 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN!!!!! Reduce temperature to 300* and continue baking 20 minutes.
