Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Whole wheat flour
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 3 large Eggs
- 360 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°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 450°F (232°C). Without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°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!
