Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted)
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a popover pan or muffin tin in the oven while it preheats to get it hot.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and frothy.
Sift the flour and salt into the egg mixture, then whisk gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the popovers dense.
Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and quickly grease the cups with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Pour the batter evenly into the cups, filling them about halfway. Work quickly to ensure the pan stays hot.
Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven door during this time.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the popovers from the oven and immediately release them from the pan onto a wire rack to cool slightly. This helps them retain their crisp exterior.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
