SUNRISE POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place eight 6-oz custard cups on a large baking sheet.
• Spoon 1 1/2 tsp of shortening into the bottom of each custard cup and set aside.
• Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl, then gradually stir in the milk and water until well blended.
• Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until smooth after each addition.
• Fold in the cheddar cheese.
• Place the baking sheet with the custard cups in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes until the shortening melts and the custard cups are hot.
• Fill the custard cups 1/2 to 2/3rds full with the batter.
• Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, without opening the oven door until the popovers rise and turn golden brown.
• If not golden brown after 45 minutes, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
• Serve piping hot.

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.

TINY ROQUEFORT POPOVERS

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 450°F.
• Generously brush two 12-cup mini-muffin pans with vegetable oil.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, white pepper and parsley.
• In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, eggs and butter.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk together until just combined (don't worry if a few lumps remain).
• Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups to within about 1/4 inch of the rim (about 1 1/2 Tbs. each).
• Place a scant 1 tsp crumbled cheese in the center of each filled cup.
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Do not open the oven door during this time.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake until the popovers are brown and crusty and fully puffed, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Remove from the oven and immediately transfer the popovers to a napkin-lined bowl or warmed platter.
• Serve immediately.
• Or, let cool on wire racks for up to 2 hours, then reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.

BEST POPOVERS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in large bowl.
• Half fill greased muffin tins w/ mixture.
• Put in cold oven and set temp to 450 degrees F.
• Bake 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 350 degrees F.
• Bake for another 15-20 minutes.
• Test one: make sure it is crispy outside and moist inside.

SAUSAGE POPOVERS

Steps:

• Grease bottom of an 8 inch baking pan.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Beat together the eggs, milk, oil, four and salt until smooth.
• Pour batter into the greased pan and top with meat (and anyother leftovers you would like to use) Bake 35 minutes.
• We serve this with maple syrup or molasses when we use the breakfast sausage, but I imagine that mustard, ketchup or other condiments would be more appropriate for different types of"toppings".

BACON POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cook bacon until crisp.
• Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings.
• Using 1/2 teaspoon butter for each cup, grease the bottom and sides of six cups of a popover or muffin pan.
• Mix eggs, milk, and oil or bacon drippings.
• Add flour and bacon and beat until mixture is smooth.
• Fill the prepared cups half full.
• Bake for about 40 minutes or until very firm.
• Remove popovers from oven and prick with a fork.
• Serve hot.
