Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- non-stick cooking spray or softened butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a popover pan or standard muffin tin in the oven to warm.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt to ensure even distribution.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the milk, honey, and melted butter, and whisk until fully combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking gently until the mixture is smooth. Avoid overmixing to keep the popovers light and airy.
Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven and grease each cup generously with non-stick cooking spray or softened butter.
Fill each cup of the pan about 2/3 full with the batter to allow space for the popovers to rise.
Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Do not open the oven door during this time.
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately pierce the side of each popover with a sharp knife to release steam and prevent sogginess.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. Enjoy!
