Popovers - Tea Room in the Valley

Category: Copy Cat Recipes (I have not tried all of these recipes)

Yield: 24 miniature popovers

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

6 eggs

3 cups milk

3 tablespoons melted butter

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray mini popover pans (see note) heavily with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

2. Using a whisk, stir together flour and salt. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until well mixed; stir in milk, then melted butter. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients. (Batter will be like thick cream.)

3. Fill pans 2/3 full. Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown. Popovers may be frozen after they have cooled.

Note: Mini popover pans are shaped like truncated cones. They can be found at Willliams-Sonoma, Sur la Table and other kitchen specialty stores.

Neither sweet nor savory, tender popovers can serve as a container for shrimp salad, a breakfast treat with jam or just a nosh with tea. This recipe can be prepared in regular muffin tins, although the classic shape yields a taller pastry. Choose tins that are deep and narrow rather than shallow and wide.



Tester's note: These are easily removed from well-sprayed nonstick bakeware. Avoid using lightweight, shiny aluminum tins.
