hugeinjapan: Dinner Tonight: Bacon-fat Popovers, Maitre’D Butter I used to make popovers all the time. I even invested in a popover pan. They’re easy, quick and completely delicious. The last couple of times I made them, though, I wound up with dense, unrisen things (including a Valentine’s Dinner on Saturday where I got basically the entire meal wrong at different junctures — tragic!). So, I committed to get back on the horse and figure out what I was doing wrong. Basically, I’d started skipping the step of bringing all the ingredients to room temperature before assembling. A lot of recipes tell you to do this with varying degrees of necessity. This one’s not kidding. If you don’t have time to get the chill off things, wait for another night. Other than that, though, this is very little effort for a very nice result. Popovers in 10 steps: 4.75 ounces AP Flour (about 3/4 of a cup)1 cup milk2 eggs1 tablespoon fat (I used bacon drippings, but most use butter)Salt to taste  1. Bring everything to room temp (I even had to put my milk in the microwave for a few seconds because my apartment is a slightly better-furnished Hoth). 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 3. Combine milk, eggs and fat.  4. Whisk in flour until a smooth batter forms. Season with salt. 5. Place popover pan in over for five minutes. 6. Coat popover pan with fat (confession: I used Pam) 7. Fill popover tins 1/3 to 1/2 full. Place in oven. 8. Bake 40 minutes. Don’t open the oven. 9. Remove popover pan from over. Cut a small slit in each popover with a paring knife to allow steam to escape. 10. Remove from pan. Slather with butter. Eat.  (via imgTumble)
