Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C) and place a popover pan or muffin tin into the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt to combine.
In a separate microwavable container or saucepan, gently heat the milk until lukewarm (not hot).
In another large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Slowly whisk in the warmed milk and melted butter.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free. The batter should have a thin, pancake-like consistency.
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and lightly grease each cup with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Pour the batter into the preheated pan, filling each cup about halfway full.
Place the pan into the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 450Β°F (230Β°C). Do not open the oven door during this initial bake time, as it may cause the popovers to collapse.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the popovers to rest for 2-3 minutes. Use a sharp knife to carefully release the popovers from the pan if needed.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey, and enjoy the delightful lightness of these airy pastries!
