Popovers

Submitted by Lille

"This recipe is based on the one from King Arthur Flour. Their version specified whole milk and unsalted butter, but I have used regular salted butter and lactose-free milk (1% or 2%) and they are delicious."

This batter is good, but is way too much for a standard size 12 muffin pan. The recipe says to fill muffin cups about 2/3 full - mine were about 3/4 full. The popovers did rise well, but I baked 5 extra minutes to get them golden brown. I did let them rest in pan for 5 minutes before removing, but a few fell in pan after removing from the oven. The popover sides were thick & doughy (dough was cooked). We prefer thin, crispy popovers. This recipe would be good for individual custard cups or larger than standard muffin tins or would make 18 in standard size muffin pans. The popovers did taste good and were tender, but had more of a pancake texture in a popover shape. They weren't light & airy inside. The blender method works great! Next time for a standard 12-cup muffin pan, I would cut back to 2 eggs, 1 cup milk & flour & 2 TBSP butter.
