Huge Popovers

Huge Popovers

I have been making for popovers for many years. One year, I even tried various recipes to compete for the largest and best! This recipe here was our favorite for a long time…until now. Meet Huge Popovers! These are super unique beginning with bread flour and needing an hour rest period before even baking. This recipe stems from ATK but I had to change up the baking time as we prefer some of the “custardy” inside to remain. Bake them extra long and they are very crusty like a shell with nothing creamy inside. Some may prefer them that way but not us. Try these out and be amazed and how well they rise!!!!!
