Light, airy, and irresistibly puffy, these "Stay Popped Popovers" are the ultimate side dish or snack that impresses with both taste and presentation! Made from a handful of simple pantry staples—like all-purpose flour, whole milk, and eggs—this easy popover recipe delivers golden domes with a crisp exterior and a tender, hollow interior. The secret? Preheating the pan and keeping the oven door closed during baking for that signature rise. With only 10 minutes of prep time and a total cook time of 35 minutes, these popovers are perfect for brunch, holiday dinners, or a cozy bread alternative. Serve them warm, straight from the oven, paired with butter, jam, or even a savory spread for an unforgettable culinary delight.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a popover pan or a standard muffin tin on the middle rack to heat along with the oven.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt to combine.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Whisk in the melted butter until fully combined.
Remove the hot pan from the oven and quickly grease each cup with butter or nonstick spray. Be cautious as the pan will be extremely hot.
Pour the batter into the prepared cups, filling each about halfway.
Place the pan back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven door during this time.
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the popovers are golden brown and puffed.
Carefully remove the pan from the oven and transfer the popovers to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
