Elle's Kitchen: Popovers

Crunchy on the Outside, Almost Custard on the Inside

When I was in college, my friend Brian

and I used to steal away to go to lunch

at a place called the Soup Emporium.

We would sample different kinds each

time, soups that were made with love,

nothing from a can.  A few years later,

Mr. Wonderful and I would go to a place

in the same location, now called Popovers.

They still had great soups on the menu

and every 15 minutes, fresh from the oven

popovers would be served ~ heaven...

And that started our love affair with

the popover.

Ingredients:

1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted

6 eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups, milk

2 cups flour

1 tsp. salt

butter for greasing pans

I have 2 six cup nonstick

popover pans for this recipe.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Coat popover pans with butter.

Place 1/2 tsp. of the melted

butter in each cup.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the

eggs and milk, then whisk in 2 tbls. of

 the melted butter.

In a large bowl, whisk the flour and salt,

then whisk in the egg mixture.  Whisk

vigorously for 2 minutes, until smooth.

Divide the batter equally among the

greased cups and bake for 20 minutes.

Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F. and

bake for 15 minutes more.

Serve with butter and jam.

And every once in a while, Mr.

Wonderful and I still treat ourselves

to homemade soup and popovers.
