Worthy of a Special Occasion

Classic popovers are moist on the inside, crispy on the outside. We've added a crunchy top layer of Parmesan. If you don't have the cheese on hand, simply omit it for a more traditional version.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 popover)

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  2% reduced-fat milk
  • 2  large egg whites
  • 1  large egg
  • 2.75  ounces  all-purpose flour (about 2/3 cup)
  • 1.5  ounces  whole wheat flour (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • Cooking spray
  • 2  teaspoons  butter, melted
  • 1/4  cup  (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Preparation

1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk until blended. Let stand 30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 375°.

3. Weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours and salt, stirring with a whisk. Gradually add flour mixture to milk mixture, stirring well with a whisk.

4. Coat 6 popover cups with cooking spray; brush butter evenly among cups to coat. Place popover cups in a 375° oven for 5 minutes. Divide batter evenly among prepared popover cups. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until golden. Serve immediately.

These were wonderful. We used canola oil instead of butter and they came out great. It was a fun project with some friends.06/15/09

These were very easy and a tasty take on fresh bread with dinner -- the kids gobbled them up. I didn't have popover pans, so I just spread the batter out into an 12-muffin tin and cut the baking time by about a third (until they looked done). For formal occasions, I would still go for yeast bread, but these were nice for nightly dinner.02/22/09
