  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 popovers

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • Additional butter for greasing

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the milk and melted butter, then whisk until smooth. Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place your popover or muffin tin in the oven while it heats. Generously grease the molds with butter.
  3. Carefully pour the batter into the hot molds, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, avoiding opening the oven door during the initial bake.
  4. Remove the popovers once golden and crispy. Let cool slightly, then serve warm with butter or your favorite spreads. For extra flavor, sprinkle with herbs or Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Make batter ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake. Stir well before pouring.
  • Ensure your oven and pan are thoroughly preheated for the best rise and crispiness.
  • Use high-quality ingredients like fresh eggs and butter for optimal flavor and texture.
