Popovers
Makes 24 mini or 12 regular popovers.
Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 8 eggs
- 3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Directions
Position a rack in the center of an oven, place 2 mini or regular-size popover pans in the oven and preheat to 375°F. Let the pans preheat while you make the batter.In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the milk until just warm to the touch (about 125°F).
In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the eggs, flour, butter, vanilla, salt and milk on medium speed until just blended, then beat the batter for 1 minute. Pass the batter through a chinois or other fine-mesh strainer to remove any lumps.
Using oven mitts, remove the popover pans from the oven and spray the cups with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the batter among the cups and bake until the popovers are puffed and golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve hot.

Delightful and simple
I had lost my Cooks Illustrated recipe for popovers and didn't feel like paying $30 to get it again, so I opted to give these a try. They're much less complicated to make and turned out just as beautifully.
Rather than spraying with cooking spray, I put a quarter teaspoon of oil in the bottom of each cup prior to pre-heating the pan (Cooks Illustrated trick) and that worked well.
I halved the recipe, and still got 12 popovers in total. I suggest only filling the cups up half way (not mentioned in the recipe).
