Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Milk (preferably whole milk, warmed)
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or softened butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the lower third of the oven to prevent the tops of the popovers from burning.
Generously grease a 6-cup popover pan or a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or softened butter to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Gradually whisk in the warm milk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Whisk in the melted unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
Equally divide the batter among the prepared popover or muffin cups, filling each cup about 1/2 to 2/3 full.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Do not open the oven door during this time, as the popovers require steady heat to rise properly.
After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and crisp.
Once baked, immediately remove the popovers from the pan to prevent sogginess. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread. They’re best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated gently if needed.
