This is an exciting recipe to share as I can think of many uses for this base recipe. When I want something bread like but do not have time to make bread this is a great option. Popovers generally our an accompaniment to a roast and good gravy. My mother and grandmother made Yorkshire pudding and to this day I do not see a real difference between popovers and Yorkshire pudding. But I do not want to get into that kind of discussion LOL! The more I work with this recipe I am finding other uses and ways to utilize popovers.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter salted melted
1 cup of milk warm
3 large eggs room temperature
One cup all-purpose flour or 120 grams.
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of cheese
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
I have tested this recipe with parmesan, medium and sharp cheddar cheese with excellent results.
On option would be using a fontina cheese and a half teaspoon of pepper.
Always make a whole batch so that you have leftovers. Reheat your popovers in the oven at 300 for 10 minutes. They are great with eggs, roasts and especially stews.
Note: Ensure your eggs are room temperature (not chilly to the touch). The milk should be lukewarm.
1) Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2) Roll sausage into shapes of small cigars or any shape you would like is fine to fit in your tin/s.
3) Place sausage and Bell Peppers and sheet tray and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. You want to start seeing some color on the sausage and peppers. Bell Peppers should still have texture and a little color.
4) Place your muffin tins (12 medium or 4 mini loaf tins) in the oven to preheat for a good 10 minutes.
5) Meanwhile in a medium bowl whisk the melted butter, milk and eggs.
6) Slowly whisk in the flour and continue to whisk until no lumps are visible.
7) Add your seasoning and cheese whisk until incorporated.
8) Pull your heated tin/s out of the oven and quickly add a teaspoon of butter to each muffin time or 1 1/2 teaspoon of butter to mini bread tins.
9) Still working quickly place your precooked sausage. Then add the pepper top of the sausage. Then quickly fill the tin halfway with the popover batter.
10) Carefully place the tin/s in the oven for 20 minutes. Do not peek. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350 for approximately 10 minutes. Look for a nice brown color and the center is firm.
11) Remove from the oven and let set for a few minutes before removing them from the tins.
Please notice the picture above on the left where I did use frozen bell peppers. Also I only had 3 mini bread tins so I used a 8 inch skillet to cook the rest of the batter. The stainless steel skillet works very well.
Please leave me any comments I would love any feedback.
