We all brought gifts that went with the theme, "You've Popped". There were pop-tarts, push pops, Rice Krispies (because they snap crackle and pop), soda pop and a few other treats.
I decided to bring pop-overs. I had never made them, I had only eaten them. So I looked them up on Foodnetwork.com and when I found Ina Gartens recipe for them I new I had a winner.
They are surprisingly easy to make, just a few ingredients and lots of fun to watch bake. They are really yummy with some butter and honey! I made extra and they were great for breakfast this morning!
There are three secrets to great popovers: Make sure the pan is hot before you pour in the batter, fill each section not more than half full and no peeking while they're in the oven!
Ingredients
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus softened butter for greasing pans
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups milk, at room temperature
Directions
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.
(I used muffin tins and it worked just fine. And I used the oven light to peek at them while they cooked!
