POPOVER PANS CAST IRON RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450°F. Spray the wells of a standard 6-cup popover pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour 1/2 tsp. of the melted butter into each cup.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then whisk in 2 Tbs. of the melted butter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt, then whisk in the egg mixture. Whisk vigorously until smooth, about 2 minutes. Divide the batter among the prepared cups and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and bake for 15 minutes more. Remove from the oven and invert the pan onto a wire rack.
• Let the pan cool, then spray the wells with nonstick cooking spray, pour 1/2 tsp. of the melted butter into each one, and bake the remaining batter. Serve immediately with butter.

Steps:

• Make the batter. Place 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole milk, 3 large eggs, and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Set aside to rest at least 20 minutes while you heat the oven.
• Heat the oven to 450°F. Remove all of the racks from the oven except one arranged in the lower third position, then heat the oven to 450ºF.
• Oil the pan. Pour 1/4 cup oil or drippings (or mix 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil) into a 10-inch straight-sided oven-safe regular or cast iron skillet. Alternatively, place 1 teaspoon of the oil or beef drippings into each well of a 12-well muffin pan, or 2 teaspoons into each well of a 6-well popover pan.
• Heat the pan. Place the skillet in the oven, or place the muffin tin or popover pan on a baking sheet before placing in the oven. Bake for 5 minutes to heat the oil and the pan.
• Add the batter. Remove the skillet, muffin tin, or popover pan from the oven. Rewhisk the batter, then pour all of it into the skillet, or divide the batter between the wells of the muffin tin or popover pan.
• Bake until puffed and deep golden brown. Return the skillet, muffin tin, or popover pan to the oven. Make sure the muffin tin or popover pan is on the baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake until puffed, deep golden brown, and crisp to the touch, about 25 minutes for the skillet, or 20 to 25 minutes for individual puddings. (Do not open the oven door during the baking time.)
• Serve the Yorkshire pudding hot. Serve the Yorkshire pudding immediately from the skillet, or remove the individual puddings from the pan and serve immediately.
