Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 Eggs
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a muffin tin or popover pan in the oven while it preheats to warm it up.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and salt together to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the whole milk and eggs until well combined. The mixture should be frothy.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the melted unsalted butter until the batter is smooth and homogenous.

Step 5

Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven and grease the cups generously with the reserved 0.5 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the greased cups, filling each one about halfway to allow room for rising.

Step 7

Place the pan in the heated oven and bake at 450°F (232°C) for 15 minutes. Do not open the oven during this time, as the steam is crucial for the popovers to rise.

Step 8

After 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 350°F (176°C) and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately transfer the popovers to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
