Using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose increases nutrients and adds flavor to these popovers. They’re easy to make, and magical to watch pop up if your oven has a window.
Ingredients
1-1/4
cups whole wheat pastry flour*
1-1/4
cups milk
3
eggs
2
tablespoons melted butter
1/4
teaspoon salt
1
tablespoon cold butter, cut into 6 pieces
*Whole wheat pastry flour is available at natural food stores and some supermarkets.
1. Position rack in lower third of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray popover pan with nonstick cooking spray. (If popover pan is not available, jumbo muffin pans or custard cups may be used.)
2. Place flour, milk, eggs, melted butter and salt in food processor or blender. Process until batter is smooth and consistency of heavy cream. (Batter may also be blended in large bowl with electric mixer.) Meanwhile, place popover pan in oven 2 minutes to preheat. Immediately place one piece of cold butter in each popover cup and return to oven 1 minute or until butter melts.
3. Fill each cup halfway with batter. Bake 20 minutes. Do not open oven or popovers may fall. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Bake 20 minutes more. Remove from cups; cool slightly on wire rack. Serve warm.
