Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or melted butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the large muffin tin inside the oven while it is preheating. This helps create a hot pan for the batter, which aids in puffing up the popovers.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. For best results, let the batter rest on the counter for 5–10 minutes while the oven continues to heat.
Carefully remove the preheated muffin tin from the oven. Add a small amount of vegetable oil or melted butter (about 1/2 teaspoon) into each muffin cup, swirling to coat the bottom and sides lightly.
Divide the batter evenly among the 6 muffin cups, filling each about halfway full.
Place the muffin tin back into the hot oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven door during this time, as the popovers need consistent heat to rise properly.
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and carefully transfer the popovers to a wire rack. Serve immediately while they're warm and puffy.
