Elevate your bread game with these irresistibly light and airy Whole Wheat Thyme Popovers! Made with a wholesome blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flours, these savory delights are infused with the earthy aroma of fresh thyme, making them a perfect sidekick to soups, roasted meats, or holiday spreads. The secret to their irresistible puff lies in a hot pan and a simple, fuss-free batter of eggs, milk, and melted butter that bakes up to golden perfection. Ready in under an hour with just 10 minutes of prep, this recipe is an ideal way to impress at brunch or dinner. Serve these popovers warm and fluffy straight from the oven for a stunning centerpiece thatβs as delicious as it is easy to make!
Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (232Β°C). Place a 6-cup popover pan (or a 12-cup muffin tin) into the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and fresh thyme leaves until well combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the milk to the eggs, whisking continuously to combine.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking just until smooth. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can affect the popovers' texture.
Melt the unsalted butter and whisk it into the batter until incorporated.
Remove the preheated pan from the oven and lightly coat the cups with nonstick cooking spray. Immediately pour the batter into the hot cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 450Β°F (232Β°C). Without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
Once done, carefully remove the popovers from the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy!
