When I was growing up I definitely remember the wonderful popovers that my mom would always make. They are also one of my favorite recipes to bake. They look spectacular with very little effort. This time I topped mine with a Grand Marnier Sauce and Fresh Berries. Perfect for a brunch or elegant dessert. Drizzle with honey, it you like a bit more sweetness.
Popovers with Grand Marnier Sauce and Fresh Berries
Ingredients
- POPOVERS
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- GRAND MARNIER SAUCE
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier liqueur
- 1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- assorted fresh berries
Instructions
-
Combine sauce ingredients and stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to let the flavors blend.
Spray 6 6-oz. custard cups with non-stick spray. Place cups on a sheet pan. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl beat milk, eggs, and melted butter until combined. Add flour and salt, beat until smooth. Fill the prepared cups half full with the batter. Bake in the 400 degree oven for 40 minutes or until very firm and golden brown. (Do not open the oven door while the popovers are baking!) Immediately remove from oven, place on small plates, cut open, top with sauce and fresh berries.
(I noted this recipe makes 6 – however, depending on the size of your custard cups -it might only make 4. The key is to fill the cups 1/2 full.)
