Whole Wheat Popovers Recipes

Steps:

• If eggs and milk are cold, before combining, submerge whole eggs in warm water 10 minutes and heat milk until just warm. Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a nonstick popover pan on rack in lowest position.
• After you have combined eggs and milk in a large bowl, whisk together until very frothy. This should only take about 1 minute. Have the flour and salt measured out and ready to go.
• Add flour and salt to egg mixture. We tested out a blender and an electric stand mixer when making the batter, but concluded that whisking by hand produces the most tender, airy popovers.
• Whisk flour and salt into egg mixture just until batter is the consistency of heavy cream with some small lumps remaining. See those air bubbles? They are what will cause the popovers to rise.
• Remove popover pan from oven and coat with cooking spray. If you prefer a standard muffin tin, only coat (and fill) the outer cups; they get better circulation in the oven. (Also, reduce baking time by 5 minutes.)
• Fill popover cups about three-quarters full with batter. Bake 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until golden brown and dry to the touch, about 20 minutes more.
• Popovers lose their crunch if they linger in the pan, so turn them out on a wire rack immediately and poke a small opening in the side of each with a paring knife to let the steam escape. Serve right away.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degree F.
• Generously grease 12 muffin cups.
• Place in oven to heat 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine eggs, milk, flours, melted butter, and salt in blender container. Blend just until smooth, scraping side of container as needed.
• Pour into hot muffin cups.
• Bake 25 minutes.
• Remove from pan and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425F. Grease a popover pan or a 6-cup muffin tin (or the middle 6 cups of a 12-cup tin) well with the melted butter and place in preheated oven for 1-2 minutes while you make the popover batter. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter and salt until smooth. Sift flours over egg mixture and whisk until smooth. Remove heated muffin tin from oven and divide the batter evenly into the buttered popover/muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes at 425F, then rotate the pan (to ensure even cooking) and reduce oven heat to 350F. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Poke each popover with a knife when you rotate the pan to help release steam and "set" the popovers. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a popover tin.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pour over flour mixture, and fold until just blended.
• Fill the popover cups two-thirds to three-quarters full.
• Transfer tin to oven, and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until well browned and crusty, about 20 minutes. Remove popovers from the oven, and unmold onto a rack. Puncture the sides with a sharp knife to let steam escape, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a 1-quart saucepan, heat butter and thyme until mixture bubbles; set aside.
• In medium-size bowl, combine flours,, sugar,and salt.
• In measuring cup, combine milk, eggs, and butter mixture.
• Add milk mixture, beat until smooth batter forms.
• Cover bowl; set aside 30 minutes.
• Just before baking popovers,place 6 deep 7-ounce ceramic custard cups on baking sheet in oven (or you may use muffin pan); heat oven to 375*F.
• Carefully remove baking sheet with cups from oven.
• Spray hot cups with non-stick vegetable cooking spray.
• Stir batter and divide among cups.
• Bake 35 minutes.
• With sharp knife, pierce side of each popover to allow steam to escape.
• Bake 10 minutes more or until browned.
• Remove popovers from oven and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
• Note: If you use muffin pans, check for doneness at about 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 375°F. Generously grease six 2/3-cup popover tins or nine 1/2-cup muffin tins. Chop 2 tablespoons walnuts fine and coat tins with them, knocking out excess.
• In a food processor blend flours and remaining 2 tablespoons walnut until walnuts are ground fine. In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, water, flour mixture, and salt until batter is combined well but still slightly lumpy.
• Divide batter among muffin tins and bake in lower third of oven 45 minutes. Cut a slit about 1/2 inch long on top of each popover with a small sharp knife and bake 8 minutes more. (Popovers will not rise much because of walnuts.)
