And now, to savor the season, I'm offering a tasty treat. One of my specialties on Thanksgiving. Cheese Popovers. For all you gluten-free people who cannot eat the stuffing, this is a great alternative. I've provided both versions of the recipe for regular eaters and celiacs!
They pop up beautifully and satisfy any palate.
And they're so easy to make. I did purchase a special popover pan for them, but you can use a muffin pan and the yield will be 12 instead of 6.
Gluten-free OR Regular recipe
Read ahead to see the difference
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and divided
¼ cup milk (I've used both 1% and 2%
milk)
¼ cup water
2 large
eggs
¾ cup plus
2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
[To make regular popovers; substitute out the GF flour for regular; omit the xanthan gum]
[To make regular popovers; substitute out the GF flour for regular; omit the xanthan gum]
½ teaspoon
xanthan gum
½ teaspoon
salt
½ teaspoon
ground black pepper
½ teaspoon
garlic salt
½ teaspoon
dried rosemary
½ teaspoon
dried thyme
6 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese (you'll need more if using cupcake pan)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Divide 2 tablespoons melted
butter among the wells of a 6-cup popover pan, brushing each to coat. Place
popover pan in oven to preheat. [If you're using regular cupcake pan, use a little more melted butter so they are all well lubed.]
In large bowl, whisk together
the milk, water, and eggs. Gradually whisk in remaining tablespoon melted butter.
Add the gluten-free flour,
xanthan gum, salt, pepper, garlic salt, rosemary, and thyme. [As noted in the ingredients, to make regular popovers; substitute out the GF flour for regular; omit the xanthan gum]
Whisk until batter
well combined. Carefully remove hot popover pan from the oven and ladel the
batter evenly among the popover cups. (They’ll be about half full.)
Sprink each with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes until
puffed and golden. Do not open the oven during baking time. Remove popovers
from pan. Using a small knife, make a small slit in the side of each popover to
release the steam. That will keep them from deflating. [Baking time if you're using cupcake pan is much shorter; 15-18 minutes.]
Tell me what you most enjoy on the Thanksgiving table!

The Cheese Popovers looks delicious! My family and I have gone gluten-free for 3 years now, and it is hard to find tasty recipes. Thank you for the recipe.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the contest. I would like to have the Stirring the Plot (Cookbook Nook Mysteries), please.

I forgot to add what I enjoy most on the Thanksgiving table. Before going gluten free, the home made rolls were heavenly! Also the pecan pies were yummy. Now it would be the turkey. :)
DeleteJen, I agree, it's hard to find some fun "decadent" foods for Thanksgiving that are GF. Glad to help. I love the turkey, too. And the mashed potatoes.

I enjoy the gathering of friends and family (no really!)
ReplyDeleteConnie, I do, too! Right now, I have two little sleeping boys in the other room. Sparky is anxiously awaiting their wake-up time. :)
