popover recipe for Ginny

Mainegg

for Ginny/KIM LOL these were not cooked in the Egg today but I have many times before. I just do not rely on the temp drop and keep an eye on them through the daisy wheel. I just shut the damper down a little more after the first 20 minutes. I get my stuff out early so the milk and eggs are room temp.
stir together 2 cups flour and 1/2 tsp salt.
beat together 2 cups milk, 4 extra lg eggs or 5 reg ones and 2 tbs melted butter. blend all together. you want it smooth. Let the batter rest for at least a half hour. I have an immersion blender and love it for these.
preheat oven to 450 with the empty pan in there to heat. when to temp remove pan and spray well with pam. pour batter into the pan to fill half way. back into the oven for 20 minutes and then drop temp to 350 for 10 - 15 depending on how brown you want them and how large they are. this batter can be made a couple of days ahead even and is still great. I let it come to room temp though to pour into the pans. just take it out of the frig while stove is preheating is enough even.
This will do 12 large ones


you want it smooth

not a popover pan but the one I use

Julie,

Those look as good as what Jordon Pond Resturant makes, and you don't have to go all the way to Acadia to get them! :woohoo:

I started making popovers when I read Ratio, by Michael Ruhlman. Simple as can be...2:2:1 egg, milk, flour. I use a muffin pan. Haven't done them in the egg, though. I remember that he recommends resting the batter after blending, to get rid of all the little bubbles.


WingRider, We had the popovers at Jordan Pond too...fabulous...but I think the setting may have made them taste better. Just a beautiful spot, isn't it?

Julie: Those really look great! Nice job. Thanks for the recipe, though mine will probably turn out like hockey pucks! :blink:

You're the best...thanks for the recipe.

Mainegg

Ben thanks for noting the rest period it is to get out the bubbles and to hydrate the four. As you can see from the pic I do not go the whole length of cook time I like them tender and a touch doughy :)but crisp on the out side.
Love the ratio book! good reading

I may try these in the future, but since I live within 20 miles of the Jordan Pond House, it seems like a waste not to enjoy the scenery along with the best popovers any where.
