Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted)
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a standard 6-cup popover pan or muffin tin in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Stir in the melted butter until incorporated.
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Grease the cups thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
Fill each cup about halfway with the batter. Work quickly to maintain the heat in the pan.
Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F. Do not open the oven door during this time, as the popovers need consistent heat to rise.
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately transfer the popovers to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping.
