10 Nutella recipes

10 Nutella recipes from our Stir It Up! bloggers for you to try out in your own kitchen.

10. Chocolate popovers with Nutella topping

The Pastry Chef's Baking
Careful with your oven temperature and baking time for this recipe. Popovers need to start off in a high heat, then turn down the oven; but not all ovens are the same.

By Carol Ramos, The Pastry Chef's Baking

3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup high protein bread flour
3 tablespoons cocoa
Butter

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

2. In a medium bowl and with a whisk or whisk attachment, beat the eggs, milk, salt, and sugar together.

3. Change to the paddle attachment. Beat in the flour and cocoa until it is completely smooth. Continue mixing for several minutes to develop the gluten.

4. Use a pastry brush to grease the insides of the popover cups with butter. If you are using a muffin pan, grease every other cup. Place about a teaspoon of butter in the bottom of each cup.

5. Fill the cups two-thirds full. Bake at high heat for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F., and continue baking for 12 minutes. (Different ovens cool differently and may require different baking times.)

6. Remove the popovers from the oven when they are golden brown. Quickly make a one-inch slit in the side of each popover to release the steam. Lift the popovers from the pan by grasping the tops with an oven mitt. Drizzle with Nutella. Serve them while still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
