Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a standard 6-cup popover pan or muffin tin in the oven to preheat along with it.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the milk, whisking gently to avoid overmixing. The batter should be smooth but slightly runny.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing as air bubbles are not needed for this recipe.
Stir in the melted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest until just combined.
Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven. Lightly grease each cup with nonstick spray or a thin layer of butter.
Evenly distribute the batter into the hot pan cups, filling each about halfway. Work quickly to retain the pan's heat.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 450°F (232°C). During this time, do not open the oven door to peek, as this may cause the popovers to collapse.
After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the popovers are deeply golden and fully set.
Remove the popovers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
