Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (finely grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 as needed non-stick spray or additional melted butter (for greasing the muffin tin)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a 6-cup muffin tin or popover pan into the oven while it preheats to ensure it becomes hot.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are pale and frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually add the milk to the eggs, whisking continuously. Then whisk in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, orange zest, and salt. Gradually sift this dry mixture into the wet ingredients while whisking to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Grease each cup generously with non-stick spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
Evenly pour the batter into the hot muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Work quickly to retain the heat in the pan.
Place the tin back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Then, without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 10 minutes or until the popovers are puffy and golden.
Remove the popovers from the oven and carefully release them from the tin using a fork or knife. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
