Cheddar Cornmeal Popovers Recipe


   
Recipe Categories: Cooking Club
Preparation Time: 10 minutes plus 30 minutes for batter to rest
Yield: 5 popovers
Courtesy of Cooking Club of America
Because these popovers use cornmeal for part of the flour, we’ve called for bread flour to increase the gluten necessary for the popovers to "pop." They do not rise as high as traditional popovers, but they taste so good, no one will mind.
 
Ingredients
  1  cup whole milk  
  1/4  tsp salt  
  1  med egg  
  2  med egg whites  
  1  tbsp unsalted butter, melted  
  3/4  cup bread flour  
  1/4  cup cornmeal  
  1/4  cup shredded cheddar cheese (1 oz.)  
 
Instructions
 
  1. In large bowl, combine milk, salt, egg and egg whites; mix with wire whisk until combined. Whisk in melted butter. Add flour and cornmeal; whisk just until smooth. Do not overbeat. Stir in cheese. Let batter rest 30 minutes.

 
  2. Meanwhile, place oven rack in lower third of oven; heat to 325°F. Spray 5 cups in popover pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour batter into sprayed cups.

 
  3. Place on rack in lower third of oven; immediately increase oven temperature to 425°F. Bake 20 minutes.

 
  4. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.; bake an additional 20 minutes or until golden brown and firm. Make 1-inch slit in side of each popover with sharp knife; bake an additional 5 minutes. Serve warm.
