Ingredients
- 1 cup Spelt flour
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy alternative)
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a standard 6-cup popover pan or a muffin tin inside the oven while it preheats to get the pan hot.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the spelt flour and salt to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the milk and whisk again until fully combined.
Step 4
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Step 5
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and add a small amount of butter to each cup, ensuring the butter fully coats the bottoms and sides.
Step 6
Immediately pour the batter into the prepared cups, filling each one about halfway.
Step 7
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven door during this time to prevent the popovers from collapsing.
Step 8
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the popovers are golden brown and puffed.
Step 9
Remove the pan from the oven and let the popovers cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your choice of butter, jam, or honey.
