Popovers

I've been making Popovers instead of serving buns or bread with the meal. Very tasty. I don't have Popover cups, so I use a pie plate instead. The result is kind of like a Welsh Pudding.

This recipie comes from Good Eats...

Put 1 tbsp of butter into a pie plate. Put the pie late into the oven and heat to 400F.

Mix 1 cups of milk, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tbsp melted butter.

Now, mix in 1 cup of all purpose flour. I take a stick belder to it just until smooth-- about 30 seconds.

When the oven has finished heating, swirl the butter in the pie plate around. Pour the batter into the pie plate.

Let them bake for 40 minutes. Take out and stab holes into them to let the steam out.

The Joy of cooking has a few more suggestions....

Try using 1.5 cups of milk instead of 1 cup. Bake at 450F for 15 minutes and then 350F for 20 minutes.

If you want crispy Popovers, take the popovers out of the pie plate and put them on a wire rack. Turn the oven off and let the popovers sit in the oven for 10 minutes.
