Popover Question

Thanks, Gris.

Joy says not to heat as well but I seem to remember my grandma heating the pan.

Or I'm confusing popovers with Yorkshire Pudding.

never done popovers but for yorkshire puds you heat the oil in the pan and the batter should be cold. hope that helps.

I love popovers. Neiman Marcus does some good ones with the strawberry butter.

Lesser rise on second batch. Should have let oven sit at 450 for 5 minutes or so before putting them in.

Still good tho.

Talked with my mother-in-law last night and she preheats her pan. I think you can achieve success either way. Recipe from Joy follows:

Oven to 450, rack in center.

In large bowl, mix together:
1 cup AP flour
1/2 tsp. salt

In another bowl, whisk:
2 large eggs
1.25 cups milk

Fold liquid into dry ingredients. A few lumps are okay.

Grease popover tin. Fill cups 2/3 to 3/4 full.

15 minutes at 450, then reduce temp to 350 and bake 20 more minutes. DO NOT OPEN OVEN during cooking.

Unmold and puncture sides with knife to let steam escape.

Alton's recipe is probably worth a Google.

Roger that, Martini. Do you pretty much follow same times as above?

Rog - just got a popover pan for Christmas - way better than muffin tins.

Thanks for the tips.

I'm already justifying the need for a second. Who eats only six, and the cooking time is ~35 minutes.
