Muffin Tin Popovers Recipes

FOOLPROOF POPOVERS

Steps:

• Special equipment: muffin tin
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a pastry brush, coat 8 muffin cups with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter and put the tin in the oven for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the eggs in a blender until light yellow. Add the warmed milk and blend. Add the flour, salt and remaining melted butter, and blend until smooth. Pour the batter into the warmed muffin tin and return it to the oven to bake until golden, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

MUFFIN PAN POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F and position the oven rack on a lower shelf. (See Kelly's Notes.)
• Place the eggs in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes.
• Generously grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan all over (including the areas around the cups) with unsalted butter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and salt until the mixture is well combined. Add the flour and continue whisking until the mixture is frothy. (There shouldn't be any large lumps.)
• Quickly whisk in the melted butter until combined then divide the the batter among the muffin cups, filling them 2/3 to 3/4 full.
• Bake the popovers for 20 minutes without opening the oven door. Reduce the heat to 350°F (again without opening the door), and bake the popovers for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until they're a deep, golden brown. (See Kelly's Notes.)
• Remove the popovers from the oven, release them from the pan and serve immediately.

POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of melted butter in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan or a popover tin and put it in oven while you make batter.
• Beat together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon butter, sugar and salt. Beat in the flour a little bit at a time and add thyme if using; mixture should be smooth.
• Carefully remove muffin tin from oven and fill each cup about halfway. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 15 minutes more, or until popovers are puffed and browned. Do not check popovers until they have baked for a total of 30 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and serve hot.

MUFFIN TIN POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F.
• Mix all ingredients together in the bowl of an electric mixer.
• Beat on low speed just until smooth (don't overmix).
• Set a very well greased muffin pan into the preheated oven for 3 minutes or until a drop of water sizzles when dropped into the tin.
• Once pan is preheated, ladle batter into the tins two-thirds full each.
• Bake for 15 minutes, then LOWER the heat to 350 F and bake another 18-20 minutes.
• Turn off the heat.
• Using a knife tip, poke a small hole in the top of each popover to releases the steam.
• Leave the popovers in the oven another 5 minutes to crisp up.
• Serve immediately.
