Pop-Overs (Eight)

Pop-Overs (Eight)

These classic pop-overs from 1900 are a delightful treat, known for their impressive rise and airy texture. The simple combination of flour, milk, eggs, and salt creates a satisfyingly light and golden-brown pastry. The key is a hot oven, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft, custardy interior, perfect for breakfast or a light snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 1 Large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Butter (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe). For greasing the pan.)

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly with a whisk until a smooth paste forms. Then, add the remaining milk and the egg. Beat vigorously for 3 minutes until the batter is well combined and slightly frothy.
  2. 2Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Generously grease a gem pan or muffin tin with butter. Ensure the pan is very hot before adding the batter.
  3. 3Fill each prepared gem pan cup about three-fourths full with the batter. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pop-overs have "popped" at least twice their size and are golden brown. They should slip easily out of the pan when done.
