Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 count Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- N/A Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a six-cup muffin tin or popover pan in the oven on the center rack to preheat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and eggs until smooth and frothy. Stir in the melted butter and finely chopped sage leaves.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking just until the batter is smooth. Avoid overmixing.
Carefully remove the preheated muffin tin from the oven, and generously coat each cup with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Evenly divide the batter between the six cups, filling each about halfway full.
Return the tin to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Do not open the oven door during this time, as it may cause the popovers to deflate.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the popovers from the oven and carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Serve warm as a side dish or with butter for a delicious treat.
