Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Canned sweet corn (drained and rinsed)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (optional for sweetness)
• 0 as needed Nonstick cooking spray or additional butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a popover pan or a standard muffin tin in the oven to preheat as well.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar (if using).

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to form a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 5

Gently fold in the sweet corn using a spatula, making sure it is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven and coat each cup generously with nonstick cooking spray or melted butter.

Step 7

Fill each cup about halfway with the batter. Do not overfill, as the popovers will need space to rise.

Step 8

Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes without opening the oven door. Then, reduce the heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the popovers cool for 2-3 minutes. Carefully release them from the pan and transfer to a wire cooling rack.

Step 10

Serve warm as is, or with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. Enjoy!
