- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk, at room temperature
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 5 lg eggs, at room temperature
- 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup beef pan drippings from Prime Rib Roast, melted (or clarified butter)
Preheat oven to 425°.
In a blender, combine milk, salt and eggs. Blend for 30s.
While blender is running, add flour 1/2 cup at a time. When all flour is added, add crumbled blue cheese to blender. Blend on medium-high speed for 1 minute.
Set popover pan on a sheet tray and place in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and brush bottom and sides of pans with melted pan drippings. Place pan back in the oven for 5 minutes to heat drippings. Remove pan from oven and carefully pour popover batter evenly into pans.
Place popover pans in oven for 10 minutes at 425°. Reduce heat to 350° and finish baking until puffed and brown. For airier popovers, during the last 5 minutes of baking time, poke a small hole into the dome of the popover using a small sharp knife or wooden skewer.
Remove from oven and serve immediately.
