Remember Hinshaws Department Store restaurant at the La Habra Fashion Square? Well, you would if you grew up here in La Habra, California. My Mom and I would have lunch there and we would always order popovers. They were perfectly baked light brown. As soon as you cut your knife into one, the steam would rise and heat up your face and you'd see the doughy web inside. Pile on the butter. I started making these again years ago in my own home. Still haven't perfected them, as they can be a science. I purchased my popover pan at Williams Sonoma, but no longer see it available on their site. eBay? I did find this same one on Amazon.

Popover Recipe

4 tbs. unsalted butter, melted(1/2 stick)

6 eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups, milk

2 cups, all-purpose flour

1 tsp. salt

Unsalted butter for serving

Jam for serving

Preheat oven to 450 degrees or I have been playing with 430 degrees. Spray popover pan cups with oil spray. Pour 1/2 tsp melted butter into each cup. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Then whisk in remaining 2 tbs butter. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Then whisk in the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth, 2 -3 minutes. Divide batter among cups or about 1/2 full. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees or I've been playing with 300 and bake for 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and invert the pan to "pop" them out. Serve immediately with butter and jam. Makes 12 popovers.

Picked this up at Trader Joe's. I have to say, it is much better than your standard name brand. Very moist. I would make this again for the holidays. I do need a better pan. Glass ovenware tends to burn everything. I need to trash the glass and go shopping for some new ovenware.
