Really Simple (albeit short & stubby) Popovers

Made these this past weekend (9/7/09) because it seemed too easy to be true, and others had rated it well on Recipezaar. They came out eggy and ... well, plain, but that's why you add butter and honey or jam or whatever you want. Also made 10 popovers in a regular muffin pan (the recipe poster made "big, tall" ones.

I don't know why I left the knives in this pic. ::sigh:: I plan on starting a baking blog with just clean, clear, wonderful pictures (like THIS BLOG--holy cow!), but we'll see if that ever happens.

They came out pretty good (and well). Too bad I don't have a popover pan. Muffin pans are good enough though. Don't forget to put water in the empty muffin cups if you don't have enough batter (prevents pan from warping).


The bottoms had big dents in them:


POPOVER RECIPE (original here -- pretty much the same as below except for baking time):

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Break eggs in bowl
2. Add milk, flour, & salt
3. Mix well with a spoon (original recipe says to disregard the lumps, but I ended up with little lumps of flour in my baked popovers!
4. Fill greased popover pans or muffin tins ¾ full
5. Put in oven
6. Set oven to 450 and turn on heat *YES--start with a cold oven!!*
7. Bake 30 minutes-ish. I used a regular-sized muffin pan, and so these were done in about 20 min. The person who posted this recipe made six jumbo ones.
