Ingredients

Scale

Popovers

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing pan
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until combined. Gradually add flour and salt, whisking to form a smooth batter. Stir in the melted butter and let the batter rest for 10 minutes to improve texture.
  2. Preheat oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a popover pan or a muffin tin inside the oven to heat for about 10 minutes. This ensures the batter starts cooking immediately on contact, aiding in a good rise.
  3. Fill the pan: Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and grease it with butter. Pour the batter evenly into the pan cups, filling each about half to two-thirds full to allow space for rising.
  4. Bake the popovers: Place the pan back into the oven and bake at 450°F (232°C) for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the popovers are puffed up and golden brown on top.
  5. Serving: Remove the popovers from the oven and serve immediately while they are still warm and fluffy to enjoy their light texture. Optionally, split them open to serve with butter, honey, or jam.

Notes

  • Do not open the oven door during the first 15 minutes of baking to prevent the popovers from collapsing.
  • Make sure to preheat the pan to get the best rise.
  • Resting the batter helps achieve a lighter texture.
  • Popovers are best served immediately but can be reheated briefly in the oven.
