Pond Pops Recipes

BLING POPS

Steps:

• Spray six 1.5-ounce ring pop molds lightly with cooking spray.
• Add the isomalt sugar to a small saucepan and melt over medium-high heat, stirring with a silicone spatula occasionally, until 350 degrees F, about 4 minutes. Pour into a heatproof glass measuring cup. Stir in the flavoring oil and stir gently to cool. Add the sprinkles when it lowers to 280 degrees F, after about 2 minutes.
• Fill each ring pop mold just short of the top with the mixture and cover with the ring pop stick and cap. If your lid doesn't snap on, it's ok; the stick will still set. Insert the handles carefully so you don't burn yourself. Let sit until hardened all the way through, about 45 minutes.
• To unmold, bring a small saucepan of water to a simmer. Dip the mold part of each ring pop in the water for a few seconds to loosen and break the seal, then remove the mold.

PERFECT POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a popover tin.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pour over flour mixture, and fold until just blended.
• Fill the popover cups two-thirds to three-quarters full.
• Transfer tin to oven, and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until well browned and crusty, about 20 minutes. Remove popovers from the oven, and unmold onto a rack. Puncture the sides with a sharp knife to let steam escape, and serve immediately.

CLASSIC PUDDING POPS

Steps:

• Beat milk, evaporated milk, instant pudding, and sugar in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Pour into ice pop molds and freeze until firm, about 3 hours.

JORDAN POND POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. Beat the eggs at high speed with an electric mixer for 3 minutes, or until the mixture turns lemon yellow.
• Slow the mixer to a crawl, and dribble in ½ cup of milk, taking about 20 seconds to pour it inches.
• Into another bowl, sift the flour and measure 1 cup as exactly as you can, then add salt and baking soda and sift again. With the mixer still running on its slowest speed, add the dry ingredients to the eggs and milk.
• Turn the mixer off and use a rubber spatula to make sure that all of the flour has blended in with the liquid.
• Set the mixer to medium speed and dribble in the remaining milk. Blend for 1 minute.
• Turn the mixer to its highest speed and beat for 10 minutes (or 5 minutes if you have a Kitchen-aid style mixer that uses a wire whip for beating). Extra beating won't hurt.
• Filter the batter through a fine-mesh screen strainer to remove any lumps, then pour into well-buttered popover cups or custard cups. (If you must use a muffin tin, fill only the corners.).
• Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Without opening the oven, turn heat to 350 degrees and bake for 15 more minutes (20 minutes if your oven door has a window).
