\"Bread<\/a>

Bread Bible "popovers" that turned into dutch babies.<\/p><\/div>\n

Total time:\u00a0 45 minutes, plus time to make everything room temperature before beginning (about 1 hour at my house)<\/p>\n

I normally leave the breads and baking to JB, but one day, I was making beef stew<\/a>, and I decided to make bread to go with it. I had no idea that bread took so long… so I revised my search for “something faster”. I found this super awesome looking recipe for popovers in JB’s copy of The Bread Bible<\/a>, and I thought: HAH! I can do that! I followed her detailed instructions to a T, because I wanted so desperately to show off. The result is shown to the right.<\/p>\n

Completely disheartened, I turned to Alton Brown<\/a> for help.<\/p>\n

* 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 1 teaspoon room temperature for pan
\n* 4 3\/4 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 1 cup
\n* 1 1\/2 teaspoons kosher salt (we used normal table salt)
\n* 2 large eggs, room temperature
\n* 1 cup whole milk, room temperature<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.<\/p>\n

Grease a 6-cup popover or 8-cup cupcake pan with the 1 teaspoon of butter.\u00a0 ( I used a 6-cup cupcake pan, and I had to do 2 popovers by themselves in a second round… not smart.\u00a0 I now own a 12 cup cupcake pan, and I fill the 4 extra cups with water.)<\/p>\n

Place all of the ingredients into a food processor or blender and process for 30 seconds. (I whisked it for 3 minutes.)<\/p>\n

Divide the batter evenly between the cups of the popover pan, each should be about 1\/3 to 1\/2 full. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 40 minutes. Remove the popovers to a cooling rack and pierce each in the top with a knife to allow steam to escape. Serve warm.<\/p>\n

The biggest key to this recipe is to make ALL of your ingredients be ROOM TEMPERATURE<\/strong>!! I cannot stress that enough! Cold eggs and milk will yield cute little dutch babies, which were dense little yummy treats, but not at all what I wanted. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The second thing to remember is – as much as your heart desires to open the oven door to check on your popovers, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR<\/strong>. Just put them in there, set the timer, and walk away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
