Blueberry Popovers Food

BLUEBERRY POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Put a piece of butter into each of 6 large muffin cups.
• Put muffin tin in preheated oven until butter melts, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Beat milk, eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla together in a large bowl. Whisk flour into the milk mixture until you have a batter. Divide batter between muffin cups. Drop even amounts of blueberries into each batter portion. Stir 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over the batter portions.
• Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until popovers are no longer moist in the center, about 25 minutes. Dust tops of popovers with confectioners' sugar. Squeeze lemon juice over popovers. Serve warm.

KIDS CAN MAKE: POPOVERS WITH MIXED-BERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with baking spray and set aside.
• Whisk the milk, flour, eggs, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until combined. Drizzle in the melted butter while whisking until combined, then let the batter stand for 5 minutes. Whisk in the baking powder, then divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (a scant 1/4 cup per muffin). Bake until the popovers are puffed and browned around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
• While the popovers are baking, bring the berries, 1/2 cup water and granulated sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the berries are juicy and soft and the liquid is reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• When the popovers are done, turn them out of the pan, using a small spatula if necessary. Arrange 2 popovers on each of six plates and garnish with a dollop of the sauce and a dusting of confectioners' sugar if using.

POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Generously grease aluminum popover pans or Pyrex custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for exactly 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek.

BETTER THAN BEST BLUEBERRY POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Generously butter a 9-inch pie plate and place berries into the bottom.
• In a blender, combine milk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract; blend.
• In small mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, nutmeg and salt.
• Add flour mixture to blender's wet ingredients; blend until smooth.
• Pour over the berries.
• Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon together in separate small dish or sugar shaker (You won't use all of this but it is a good ratio to make cinnamon sugar~ you'll have extra for other recipes!).
• Sprinkle top of blueberry popover with 2 tsp of cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes at 450 degrees then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake another 15-20 minutes.
• Cut into wedges and serve warm.
• You can top with butter or syrup but I prefer Brummel& Brown's blueberry yogurt spread~ Yummy!

BLUEBERRY POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Mix eggs and sugar well. Whisk in milk, then almond extract and pinch of salt. Whisk in flour, mixing until almost all the lumps are gone and the batter resembles thick cream. Set aside. In fact, let the batter rest for an hour, if you have the time - although it doesn't matter that much. Popovers will rise slightly more if batter has rested.
• Place 1/2 tablespoon of cold butter in each cup of a six-muffin pan (for large muffins). When the oven has preheated, place the pan in the oven, directly on the middle oven rack. (Remove any rack that is above the pan.) Heat the pan for 3 minutes.
• Remove hot pan from oven. Whisk batter, briefly, and pour into muffin pan. Add blueberries, dividing evenly among the muffins. Use a knife or fork to make sure berries are covered - even if only a little - by the batter.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes. Reduce temp to 350 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven and squeeze lemon juice over the tops; sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
