Popovers

The secret to popovers (or Dutch Babies or Yorkshire Pudding, which are essentially the same thing) are a very hot pan and oil.  Do not skip the step where you put the popover pan in the oven with the oil prior to baking, as your popovers will have no pop if you do.

Servings: 5-6

Ingredients:

• 5 t. oil

• 2 beaten eggs

• 1 cup milk

• 1 T. cooking oil

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½  t. salt

Chef’s Tip: Do not open the oven during baking process as the popover may fall if you do. Put this in twice because it’s important!

Instructions:

1.       Preheat oven to 450 degrees

2.       Grease popover cups with 1 t. of oil for each cup.

3.       Place pan in the pre-heating oven to get pan very hot. 

4.       Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix beaten eggs, milk and oil.  Add flour and ½ t. salt. 

5.       Remove pan from oven.  Fill the hot cups half full of batter.

6.       Return pan to oven. Bake at 450 for 20 minutes.  Reduce oven to 350 bake 10 minutes more until very firm.  Do not open the oven during baking process as the popover may fall if you do.
