Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray or butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 6-cup popover pan or muffin tin in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and shredded cheddar cheese. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until they are frothy. Gradually add the milk and melted butter, whisking until combined.
Gently add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Be careful not to overmix.
Carefully remove the hot popover pan or muffin tin from the oven. Spray each cup with nonstick cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and puffed up.
Once finished, remove the popovers from the oven and carefully release them from the pan. Serve immediately while warm.
