**Pfitzauf Rezept**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– Pinch of salt
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously grease a muffin tin with butter or cooking spray. Place the tin in the oven while it preheats to ensure the pan is hot when you pour in the batter.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and salt until a smooth batter forms. Make sure to mix well, but be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough texture.
3. Slowly pour in the melted butter while whisking the batter continuously. The butter should be well incorporated into the mixture.
4. Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and quickly fill each mold about three-quarters full with the prepared batter. Be cautious as the tin will be very hot.
5. Place the filled tin back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Pfitzauf has puffed up and turned a golden brown color. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent them from deflating.
6. Once baked, remove the Pfitzauf from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. The popovers will naturally deflate a bit as they cool.
7. Gently transfer the Pfitzauf from the tin onto a cooling rack. Dust the warm popovers with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness and an elegant finish.
8. Serve the Pfitzauf warm as they are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. You can also drizzle them with your favorite fruit compote, honey, or maple syrup for added flavor.
9. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. To reheat, place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes until warm and crispy again.
Indulge in the delightful flavors of freshly baked Pfitzauf, and savor the warmth and comfort they bring to your home. These German popovers are a delightful addition to any breakfast spread or a sweet treat for a cozy evening. Enjoy making these versatile popovers and impress your family and friends with a taste of German tradition right from your own kitchen.
