Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a standard 6-cup popover pan or muffin tin in the oven to preheat along with it.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the milk, whisking gently to avoid overmixing. The batter should be smooth but slightly runny.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing as air bubbles are not needed for this recipe.

Step 5

Stir in the melted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest until just combined.

Step 6

Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven. Lightly grease each cup with nonstick spray or a thin layer of butter.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the batter into the hot pan cups, filling each about halfway. Work quickly to retain the pan's heat.

Step 8

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 450°F (232°C). During this time, do not open the oven door to peek, as this may cause the popovers to collapse.

Step 9

After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the popovers are deeply golden and fully set.

Step 10

Remove the popovers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Step 11

Dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
