POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease well with melted butter or vegetable oil eight 6-ounce custard cups or twelve 2 1/2- by 1 1/4-inch muffin-pan cups. Set custard cups on jelly-roll pan for easier handling.
• In medium bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat eggs until frothy; beat in milk and melted butter until blended. Gradually beat in flour and salt. Or, combine all ingredients in blender; blend until smooth.
• Pour about 1/3 cup batter into each prepared custard cup or fill muffin-pan cups half-full. Bake 50 minutes, then quickly cut a small slit in the top of each popover to let out steam; bake 10 minutes longer. Immediately remove popovers from cups, loosening with spatula if necessary. Serve hot. Makes 8 medium or 12 small popovers.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING'S POPOVERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. If using a popover tin with 6-ounce cups, grease 6 cups with 2 tablespoons butter. If using a muffin tin with cups 2 1/2 inches wide by 1 1/4 inches deep, grease 12 cups. With 6-ounce custard cups, grease 8 cups.
• In large bowl of mixer, beat eggs until frothy; beat in milk and remaining butter. Lower speed and beat in flour and salt.
• Divide batter among prepared cups. Bake 50 minutes; make slit in each to let out steam; bake 10 minutes more. Immediately remove from cups. Serve hot with butter.

BASIC POPOVERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grease a 6-cup popover pan with the 1 teaspoon of butter.
• Combine the 1 tablespoon of butter, the flour, salt, eggs and milk in a food processor or blender and process for 30 seconds.
• Divide the batter evenly among the cups of the popover pan, filling each one-third to one-half full. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 40 minutes, taking care not to open the oven door. Remove the popovers to a cooling rack and pierce each one in the top with a knife to allow steam to escape. Serve warm.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING'S FAMOUS POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
• Grease 8 deep, 7-ounce pottery custard cups (I use regular popover pans). Set the greased custard cups into a jellyroll pan for easier handling (which you don't have to do if you are using regular popover pans).
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy using a mixer at low speed, then beat in the milk and butter. (I just use a whisk--uses less electricity!). At low speed, beat the flour and salt into the egg, milk, and butter mixture. Pour about 3/4 cup of the batter into each of the greased custard cups.
• Bake for 1 hour. Make a slit in each to let out steam; bake for 10 minutes more. Immediately remove the popovers from the cups (unless they've already popped out! Serve hot with butter curls (which, honestly, aren't really necessary).

POPOVERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Pour a little oil into the holes of a deep 12-hole muffin tin or 12 popover tins, making sure the oil coats the bases in a thin layer. Slide into the oven for 10 mins to heat the oil.
• Whisk the flour and eggs together in a bowl with a pinch of salt until you have a smooth, thick paste. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously until you have a thin batter that's the consistency of double cream.
• Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven and quickly pour in the batter, filling the tins half full. The batter should sizzle immediately as it hits the oil. Bake for 10 mins, then reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake for 10-15 mins more until the popovers are golden, crisp and well-risen. Serve straightaway.
