Well another National food day and today we spotlight cherry popovers! If you can't get fresh cherries that's ok, just get dried cherries and let them soak in warm water and they be semi-plump again.
If you don't have a popover pan that's fine to just use a muffin pan or a jumbo muffin pan if you have it. No one is really gonna care because all they are gonna see is some nice hot cherry muffins/popovers and ask for the whipped cream....:)
Now for the recipe and links at the end to follow to introduce you to more sites on the web and well different versions of the recipe!
Cherry Popover
Makes 12.
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups low fat milk
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup pitted cherries
Beat the milk, melted butter, flour, and salt in a medium bowl until just smooth, then add eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated. Stir in cherries. Allow batter to rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450F. Butter 12 muffin cups (or 6 popover cups) taking care to coat the cups as well as the area around the top as well. Fill cups 3/4 full and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Without opening the oven door, lower the heat to 350F and bake 10 minutes longer.
Remove from oven, pierce tops with a knife to let the steam escape, and allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Remove from pan, and serve.
