Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a popover pan or muffin tin inside to heat up while you prepare the batter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest until evenly combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually whisk in the milk and melted butter until smooth.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. The batter should be thin and lump-free.
Carefully remove the heated popover pan or muffin tin from the oven. Spray each cup generously with nonstick cooking spray.
Quickly pour the batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
Place the pan back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Do not open the oven door during this time.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes until the popovers are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the popovers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.
