Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Canned sweet corn (drained and rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (optional for sweetness)
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a popover pan or a standard muffin tin in the oven to preheat as well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar (if using).
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
Gently fold in the sweet corn using a spatula, making sure it is evenly distributed.
Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven and coat each cup generously with nonstick cooking spray or melted butter.
Fill each cup about halfway with the batter. Do not overfill, as the popovers will need space to rise.
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes without opening the oven door. Then, reduce the heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the popovers cool for 2-3 minutes. Carefully release them from the pan and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
Serve warm as is, or with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. Enjoy!
