directions

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lower third of the oven; preheat the oven to 400°. Grease each popover cup generously with softened butter or solid vegetable shortening.
  • Combine the eggs, milk, melted butter, flour and salt in a blender or food processor; process for about 40 seconds. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times and blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
  • To make by hand, whisk together the eggs, milk and butter in a large bowl. Add the flour and salt and beat until very smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the greased cups, filling them half to two-thirds full. Bake until the popovers are puffed and golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking or the popovers will collapse.

  1. These are so easy to make! And they're cheap too! I added some garlic salt to the mix and then topped it with a little bit of shredded cheese before I baked it. They turned out soooooo delicious!
     
  2. Newest Zaar Tag 2008 ~ As I've never made popovers before, I didn't know what to expect. They were lovely! Almost similar to a Yorkshire Pudding but easier! Served with a lamb stew. I made half the recipe as there are only two of us and got five out of this. I used a regular cupcake/muffin tin for these. They come out light and airy. Easy to make...will definitely make again. Thanks evelyn!

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
