Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 5 tablespoons butter (plus extra for greasing)
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure your oven is nice and hot for those perfect popovers! 🔥 |
| 2 | Blend the batter: In a blender, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, eggs, milk, and 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Blend everything together for about 30 seconds, making sure to scrape down the sides to get a smooth, lump-free batter. 🥞 |
| 3 | Prepare the popover tins: Brush 8 popover tins (1-cup size) or 2/3 cup custard cups with some of the remaining melted butter. Place them in the middle of the preheated oven for 5 minutes to get them nice and hot. This step helps create that crispy outside we all love in popovers! 🍴 |
| 4 | Fill the tins: Once the tins are hot, fill them halfway with the prepared batter. You want to leave some room for the popovers to puff up beautifully. 💨 |
| 5 | Sprinkle with rosemary: Sprinkle the tops of the batter-filled tins with 1/4 teaspoon of dried rosemary. This aromatic herb adds a wonderful flavor and aroma to the popovers. 🌿 |
| 6 | Bake to perfection: Place the filled tins back into the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the popovers are golden-brown and crisp on the outside. You might want to peek through the oven window to see them puff up majestically! 🌟 |
| 7 | Serve and enjoy: Once done, remove the popovers from the tins and serve them warm. They’re best enjoyed fresh from the oven, with a pat of butter melting on top. These popovers are perfect for soaking up gravy or enjoying on their own as a tasty treat. Enjoy! 🍽️ |
Tips and Serving Suggestions:
- These Rosemary Popovers are incredibly versatile. Try adding grated cheese or finely chopped herbs to the batter for different flavors.
- Serve them alongside a roast dinner, soup, or a hearty salad for a comforting meal.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
- For a sweeter version, omit the rosemary and add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
- These popovers are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two.
These Rosemary Popovers are a delightful addition to any meal, whether it’s a special occasion like Christmas brunch or a cozy family dinner. The blend of savory rosemary and buttery goodness makes them irresistible, and they’re sure to become a favorite in your household. So, roll up your sleeves, preheat that oven, and get ready to enjoy these fluffy, golden-brown treats! 🌿✨
