Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and position the rack in the lower third of the oven.
Generously grease a 6-cup popover pan or a regular muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and frothy.
Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet mixture, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Stir in the melted butter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Avoid overfilling as the popovers need space to rise.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 450°F (230°C) for 15 minutes. DO NOT open the oven door during this time.
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately poke a small hole in the top of each popover with a knife to release steam. This will help maintain their structure.
Serve the popovers warm with butter, jam, or your favorite accompaniment.
