Popovers With Roast Beef And Horseradish Food

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.

TRADITIONAL POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Spray a popover pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place pan on center rack of oven and preheat for 2 minutes.
• Blend flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until it looks like heavy cream, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Cut chilled butter into 6 even pieces. Place 1 piece of butter in each cup and place pan back in oven until butter is bubbly (about 1 minute).
• Fill each cup half full with batter and bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.

YORKSHIRE PUDDING POPOVERS

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place a popover or large muffin pan in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are foamy. Whisk in the milk. Add the flour, salt and pepper and beat just until the batter is smooth.
• Pour the beef drippings in the cups of the hot pan, then pour in the batter filling the cups halfway and bake until the popovers are puffy and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Cut each meat slice into 15 pieces. Cut apple into 30 slices, then cut each slice crosswise in half.
• Place crackers in single layer on baking sheet; top with apples, meat and cheese.
• Bake 3 min. or until heated through. Sprinkle with onions.
• Make Ahead!
• The meat, cheese and onions can be cut ahead of time. Refrigerate in separate airtight containers up to 12 hours before using as directed.

POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, butter, and eggs. Make a well in the flour, pour in the milk mixture, and whisk to make a smooth batter. Set batter aside for 10 minutes.
• Heat a non-stick or well-seasoned 6-cup popover pan in the oven for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and brush the inside of the cups with the shortening. Ladle the batter into the cups and bake for 20 minutes, without opening the oven. (Do not open the oven during baking.)
• Lower the heat to 350 degrees F. and continue to bake the popovers for 20 minutes, at this point they will be golden brown. Right after removing the popovers from the oven, poke each one with a paring knife to release steam. Turn popovers from the pan and serve immediately with butter and jam.

POPOVERS WITH ROAST BEEF AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• For the popovers: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F; position a rack in the lower third with at least 6 inches of clearance above it. Place a baking sheet on the rack and preheat for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and pour it in a large bowl with the eggs, milk, salt and sugar. Whisk until very well combined. Add the flour and whisk until smooth; pour into a liquid measuring cup.
• Cut the remaining butter into 12 equal pieces; put one piece in each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin. Set the tin in the oven, on top of the preheated baking sheet, and heat until the butter starts to sizzle, about 3 minutes. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and pour the batter into the cups, filling each about halfway. Return to the oven and bake until the popovers are puffed and starting to brown (do not open the oven door!), about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees and continue to cook (again, without opening the oven!) until the popovers are golden brown all over, 12 to 15 minutes more. Remove the popovers from the tin onto a cooling rack. Let cool until just cool enough to handle, about 3 minutes.
• For the sandwiches: In a bowl, stir together the horseradish, sour cream and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Working one popover at a time, dollop about a teaspoon of the horseradish cream into the divot on the top of the popover; if the divot is not very deep, push in lightly with your thumb to make a deeper indentation or hole. Top with a slice or two of roast beef and then with another dollop of horseradish cream. Sprinkle with a little finishing salt. Repeat with the remaining popovers and serve immediately.
