Popover Recipe

This easy popover recipe is delicious, easy to make and perfect for breakfast or brunch!

If you’ve never had a popover before, drop whatever it is you’re doing and get straight into the kitchen. These delicate rolls are delicious, airy and nobody will guess they are made with whole grains! Enjoy them warm out of the oven with a pat of butter. Melty, comforting goodness. Yum!

This recipe is adapted from a very old Fannie Farmer cookbook. The first edition was printed in 1896! So this recipe has been around a while! The changes made were the flour used and the amount of milk added to adjust for the whole grain flour.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE THESE:

• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp. butter (melted)
• A popover pan
• Extra butter for oiling the popover pan

NEED A POPOVER PAN?

This is the one I have. It works beautifully!

HOW TO MAKE THIS POPOVER RECIPE

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Butter the popover pan and place it in the oven. You’ll want the pan to be hot before you put the batter in it. (You should hear a sizzle in the pan when you add the batter.)
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour and salt.
• Mix in the milk and blend with an electric mixer until totally smooth.
• Beat in the eggs and butter.
• Pull the hot pan from the oven (please use a pot holder!), and pour the batter in. Fill them about 3/4 of the way.
• Bake for 35 minutes.
  
• Remove from oven and let sit for about 5-10 minutes. Then turn the popovers upside down onto a clean surface. Cool on a plate or cooling rack, but don’t let them cool completely before cutting one open and putting butter on it!
• Eat one right there at the counter, because… warm bread with butter. YUM!
