Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and position a rack in the lower third of the oven.
Generously grease the cups of a popover pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter to ensure easy release.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt to combine evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then add the milk and melted butter. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Do not overmix.
Place the greased popover pan into the oven for 2 minutes to preheat before pouring in the batter.
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and evenly divide the batter into the cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the pan back into the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Do not open the oven door during this time, as the popovers need the consistent high heat to rise properly.
After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes until the popovers are deep golden brown and crisp.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and immediately poke a small hole in the side of each popover using a toothpick or skewer. This allows the steam to escape and prevents them from becoming soggy.
Serve the popovers warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
