Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted)
- Butter or nonstick spray (for greasing)
- Powdered sugar (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a standard 6-cup popover pan or muffin tin in the preheating oven to warm up.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing.
Carefully remove the hot popover pan from the oven. Grease each cup with butter or nonstick spray to ensure easy release.
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cups, filling each about halfway.
Bake the popovers for 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed up and golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the popovers rest for a minute or two before gently removing them from the cups.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with powdered sugar if desired, and pair with your favorite breakfast toppings like jam, honey, or fresh fruit.
