They may not be a standard for breakfast, but in my opinion, popovers are perfect for breakfast or brunch. Especially if there is a larger group at the table. These Easy Biscoff Popovers are the perfect sweet treat in between or the perfect end to a brunch. Easy to prepare and quick to decorate. Never work more than absolutely necessary in the kitchen ;P
On weekdays, we don’t eat a big breakfast. We normally have some easy sandwiches or a bowl of oatmeal with some fruits or berries. On weekends, there is more time for breakfast. And more stuff to eat. When people come over for brunch it can get out of control sometimes ;P
Popovers are perfect for a nice brunch with family and friends. They are quick and easy to prepare and also easy to adapt. Instead of Biscoff spread and Biscoff cookies, you could use chocolate spread instead… or maybe just jam. If you don’t use vanilla extract for the batter you could actually turn this into a hearty treat. Maybe with feta cream or cheese on top, smoked salmon, bacon – there are endless options ;)
There are a few things that can go wrong when preparing popovers. If the baking tin is not hot enough or if there is not enough butter in the baking molds, the popovers may not rise properly. However, failing is not that big of a deal ;P The perfect popover puffs up a lot and has a very airy texture. A failed popover remains flat and is quite compact. Does a »fail« like that still taste good? Most definitely!
Less-risen popovers are similar to cupcakes but still super good. If your popovers do not turn out perfect the first time, don’t give up… the next attempt will definitely be better ;)
Popovers are one of many treats you can serve at a brunch. The following two recipes here are also quite easy to prepare and a great addition to the usual stuff like bread rolls, cold cuts, and cheese. The Almond Croissants are always a big hit ;P
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
(12 popovers)
For the batter:
6 tsp. butter for the mold
3 medium eggs
1 1/2 cups (360ml) regular milk (3.5% fat)
0.5 oz. (15g) butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (200g) all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. cardamom
1/4 tsp. salt
For the decoration:
1 oz. (30g) butter, melted
2-3 Biscoff cookies*, crumbled
5-6 tbsp. Biscoff spread*
6 Biscoff cookies*, halved
(12 Popovers)
Für den Teig:
6 TL Butter für die Form
3 Eier (M)
360ml Milch (3,5% Fett)
15g Butter, geschmolzen
1 TL Vanille Extrakt
200g Mehl (Type 405)
1/4 TL Kardamom
1/4 TL Salz
Für die Dekoration:
30g Butter, geschmolzen
2-3 Biscoff Kekse*, zerbröselt
5-6 EL Biscoff Aufstrich*
6 Biscoff Kekse*, halbiert
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Preheat the oven to 445°F (230°C). Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Prepare a large muffin tin (for 12 muffins) by adding about 1/2 tsp. butter to each mold and set aside.
2. Add the eggs to a large bowl and mix for 1-2 minutes until foamy. You can use a handheld mixer or whisk by hand. Add the oat milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and mix well. Mix flour, cardamom, and salt – add to the bowl and mix until well combined.
3. Place the muffin tin with the butter in the hot oven and let the butter melt briefly. Remove from the oven and use a brush to distribute the melted butter evenly – you want the bottom and sides coated with the melted butter. Pour in the batter. The molds should be filled a bit more than 3/4 full. Place the muffin tin on the oven rack and bake for about 18-20 minutes. The popovers should have popped up nicely with a golden brown color. Take them out of the oven.
4. Carefully remove the popovers from the muffin tin – a knife and rubber spatula are your best friends here (sometimes the popovers will stick to the tin). Brush the popovers with melted butter and roll them in the cookie crumbs. Spread a little Biscoff cream on top of the popovers and press half a cookie into the cream. Serve popovers still slightly warm if possible. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, but they are actually best when fresh.
1. Den Ofen auf 230°C (445°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Einen Rost ins untere Drittel des Ofens schieben. Ein 12er Muffinblech* vorbereiten – jeweils etwa 1/2 TL Butter in jede Vertiefung geben und zur Seite stellen.
2. Die Eier in eine große Schüssel eben und für 1-2 Minuten schaumig aufschlagen – geht mit einem Handrührgerät oder per Hand mit einem Schneebesen. Milch, geschmolzene Butter und Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und alles gut vermischen. Mehl, Kardamom und Salz vermischen, zur Schüssel dazugeben und gut unterrühren.
3. Das Muffinblech mit der Butter in den vorgeheizten Ofen stellen und die Butter nur kurz schmelzen lassen. Die Form aus dem Ofen holen und die Seiten der Mulden mithilfe eines Pinsels mit der geschmolzenen Butter bestreichen, dann den Teig einfüllen. Jede Mulde sollte etwas mehr als 3/4 befüllt werden. Die Form auf den Rost im Ofen stellen und für etwa 18-20 Minuten backen – die Popovers sollten schön aufgegangen sein und eine goldene Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen holen.
4. Die Popovers vorsichtig aus dem Muffinblech lösen – Messer und Gummispatel sind hier prima (manchmal backen sie an der Unterseite etwas fest). Die Popovers mit geschmolzener Butter bestreichen und in den Keksbröseln wälzen, dann mit etwas Biscoff Creme bestreichen und einen halben Keks in die Creme drücken. Popovers möglichst leicht warm servieren. Reste können in einem luftdichten Behälter bei Zimmertemperatur 2-3 Tage aufbewahrt werden – frisch schmecken die kleinen Dinger aber am besten.
