The result was a nicely puffed popover, with a beautifully crispy exterior, and an airy slightly eggy interior. The browned butter added a slight complexity to the flavor and the herbs peeked through as well.
2Tablespoonschopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme)
1/4 teaspoonxanthum gumomit if GF Flour contains xanthum gum
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F. Grease a 6-cup popover pan or 12-cup standard muffin tin.
In a small skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add chopped fresh herbs and saute until butter begins to brown slightly. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes.
For best results (smooth batter), make popover batter In a blender. Blend the eggs, melted butter, and milk until well combined. Add the flour and salt to the blender, then blend on medium-high until batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cup 2/3 full.
Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake for another 15 minutes, until the popovers are a deep brown.
Remove from the oven. Prick the side of each popover with a sharp knife to vent the steam; allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Recipe Note: Our Gluten Free Flour already had xanthin gum - so I omitted it from the recipe.
