TRADITIONAL POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Spray a popover pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place pan on center rack of oven and preheat for 2 minutes.
• Blend flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until it looks like heavy cream, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Cut chilled butter into 6 even pieces. Place 1 piece of butter in each cup and place pan back in oven until butter is bubbly (about 1 minute).
• Fill each cup half full with batter and bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.

POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Generously grease aluminum popover pans or Pyrex custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for exactly 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek.

TINY ROQUEFORT POPOVERS

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 450°F.
• Generously brush two 12-cup mini-muffin pans with vegetable oil.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, white pepper and parsley.
• In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, eggs and butter.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk together until just combined (don't worry if a few lumps remain).
• Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups to within about 1/4 inch of the rim (about 1 1/2 Tbs. each).
• Place a scant 1 tsp crumbled cheese in the center of each filled cup.
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Do not open the oven door during this time.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake until the popovers are brown and crusty and fully puffed, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Remove from the oven and immediately transfer the popovers to a napkin-lined bowl or warmed platter.
• Serve immediately.
• Or, let cool on wire racks for up to 2 hours, then reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
