Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 0 Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a popover pan or muffin tin in the oven while it preheats to get it hot.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and frothy.

Step 3

Sift the flour and salt into the egg mixture, then whisk gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the popovers dense.

Step 4

Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and quickly grease the cups with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the cups, filling them about halfway. Work quickly to ensure the pan stays hot.

Step 7

Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven door during this time.

Step 8

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the popovers from the oven and immediately release them from the pan onto a wire rack to cool slightly. This helps them retain their crisp exterior.

Step 10

Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
