CINNAMON SUGAR POPOVERS

Steps:

• If eggs and milk are cold, before combining, submerge whole eggs in warm water 10 minutes and heat milk until just warm. Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a nonstick popover pan on rack in lowest position.
• After you have combined eggs and milk in a large bowl, whisk together with vanilla until very frothy. This should only take about 1 minute. Have the flour and salt measured out and ready to go.
• Add flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar to egg mixture. We tested out a blender and an electric stand mixer when making the batter, but concluded that whisking by hand produces the most tender, airy popovers.
• Whisk flour and salt into egg mixture just until batter is the consistency of heavy cream with some small lumps remaining. See those air bubbles? They are what will cause the popovers to rise.
• Remove popover pan from oven and coat with cooking spray. If you prefer a standard muffin tin, only coat (and fill) the outer cups; they get better circulation in the oven. (Also, reduce baking time by 5 minutes.)
• Fill popover cups about three-quarters full with batter. Bake 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until golden brown and dry to the touch, about 20 minutes more.
• Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Brush tops of baked popovers with melted butter, then coat in cinnamon sugar.
• Popovers lose their crunch if they linger in the pan, so turn them out on a wire rack immediately and poke a small opening in the side of each with a paring knife to let the steam escape. Serve right away.

APPLE CINNAMON POPOVERS WITH BROWN SUGAR BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Generously grease 10 (4-oz) heatproof pottery custard cups, 10 to 12 regular-size muffin or popover-pan cups with butter. If using custard cups, arrange on cookie sheet. Heat cups in oven just prior to adding batter.
• In large bowl, stir together all Popover ingredients except apples just until smooth. Stir in apples. Pour batter into hot cups, filling almost to top.
• Bake 50 minutes. Do not open oven door during baking.
• After 50 minutes, remove popovers from oven; cut several slits in top of each. Bake 5 to 10 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix Brown Sugar Butter ingredients until well combined.
• Immediately remove popovers from cups. Serve warm with Brown Sugar Butter.

BROWN SUGAR-CINNAMON BUTTER

CINNAMON POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray nine 1/3-cup muffin cups with nonstick spray. Whisk milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in medium bowl to blend. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups (about 3 tablespoons batter per cup).
• Bake popovers 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Continue to bake until popovers are brown and crisp, about 20 minutes. Turn popovers out of pan, loosening with small sharp knife if necessary. Sift powdered sugar over and serve immediately.
