Serves: 12

Ingredients

1/4 cup: canola oil; 60 mL

4: large eggs

2 cups: 2 % milk (or other dairy milk); 500 mL

2 tbsp: unsalted butter, melted; 30 mL

1 tbsp: finely chopped thyme; 15 mL

1 tbsp: finely chopped rosemary; 15 mL

2 tsp: granulated sugar; 10 mL

2 tsp: salt; 10 mL

1/2 tsp: ground black pepper; 2 mL

2 cups: all-purpose flour; 500 mL

3/4 cup: coarsely grated Panache Applewood Smoked Cheddar Cheese Aged 2 Years, divided; 175 mL

Directions

Step 1

Bring all ingredients to room temperature before starting. Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F). Spoon 1 tsp (5 mL) canola oil into each of 12 cups in popover pan(s). Preheat the pan(s) in the oven while making the batter.

Step 2

In a spouted bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, thyme, rosemary, sugar, salt and pepper. Add the flour in batches, mixing just until smooth.

Step 3

Carefully remove the popover pan(s) from the oven, being mindful of the hot oil (keep oven on). Pour batter to fill each cup about 2/3 full, then top with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of grated cheese.

Step 4

Return pan(s) to oven. Bake 15 min. until popovers are puffed up, then reduce the oven temp to 180°C (350°F) and bake another 15 min., until golden brown and crisp. (Tip: As tempting as it is, don’t open the oven door while popovers are baking!) Remove from oven; carefully lift out popovers from pan(s). Serve immediately while hot and puffed.

Tip

To add even more pop to your popovers drizzle with Hot Maple Syrup! Simmer 1 cup (250 mL) Compliments Organic Dark Maple Syrup with ½ tsp (2 mL) smoked paprika and ¼ tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper (or more if desired) in a small saucepan over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 min. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature before serving. Or store refrigerated in an airtight container.

Don’t own a popover pan? You can use a muffin tin, but the baking time may vary as it will hold a lower volume of batter. Just keep an eye on the bake as it may require less time.
