Finally, success! This time I used the recipe that Michelle posted on this blog earlier (it's her mom's). A big thank you to Michelle and her mom. This recipe was so easy, and it worked so well! The popovers popped BIG TIME. After taking them out of the oven, they fell a bit, but they were still light, airy and delicious. Kind of custardy, or dutch baby-ish. The other popovers we had made were very dense. These ones were more or less hollow inside (perfect for filling up with butter, Elliot said, and then declared that we should call them buttercups). I'm including a picture inside the oven, to show just how much they popped, and then one after they had been taken out. Yum!
Ben cooked up a "rustic applesauce" to eat with our popovers, and that was a pretty great pairing.
Mrs. Ferris's Popovers
4 large eggs (room temperature)
3/4 cup milk (room temperature)
2 tbsp butter, melted
3/4 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease muffin/popover cups- this should make about 8/6 popovers depending on size of tins.
Beat eggs til frothy.
Beat in milk and butter.
Add flour and salt to egg mixture- beat at low speed til smooth.
Divide into prepared cups.
Bake 35- 40 minutes or until puffed and firm on top.

Hurray! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I can't wait to try it. Tell Elliot a good popover is great for holding gravy too. I really liked the buttercup name though!
Success is yours. I liked calling them "Buttercups," too!
Yea! That's the popover I've always known: buttery, eggy, air basically, with a flaky crust. & they ARE good with gravy, this actually came as part of a recipe she found years ago for "Pepper Chicken Popovers" where they were meant to sop up the light roux that the chicken, & sausage, red, yellow, & orange bell peppers, & roma tomatoes were cooked in. Glad it worked out for you guys.
Mmmm, that pepper chicken recipe sounds good too! Maybe your mom should start a cooking blog.
These look so good! I'm going to give it a try too. Can you post Ben's rustic applesauce recipe too?
Thanks Mrs. Ferris. I made these popovers and they were so much better than a recipe I got off the Food Network's site. I overfilled my tins or I think they would have been perfect! Joe and Tori gave them a big thumbs up too.
I made the popovers this morning! So good and they popped! Turned out perfectly. They basically taste like a big puffy pancake (i.e. dutch baby), but that is a good thing. I found recipes for savory popovers for dinner so I might try those next.
I would like to try some savory popovers. You should share the recipe if it turns out well. We just made a huge dutch baby this weekend too...
