Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk (preferably whole)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- Nonstick cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a standard 6-cup popover pan (or muffin tin) in the oven while preheating to get it hot.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, orange zest, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and thin. Avoid overmixing.
Carefully remove the hot popover pan from the oven. Quickly and generously grease each cup with nonstick cooking spray or melted butter.
Divide the batter evenly among the cups of the popover pan, filling each about halfway full.
Place the pan back in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 20 minutes without opening the oven door to maintain consistent heat.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately transfer the popovers to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm plain, or with butter and honey for extra indulgence.
