Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon orange zest (finely grated)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 as needed non-stick spray or additional melted butter (for greasing the muffin tin)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a 6-cup muffin tin or popover pan into the oven while it preheats to ensure it becomes hot.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are pale and frothy, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually add the milk to the eggs, whisking continuously. Then whisk in the melted butter and vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, orange zest, and salt. Gradually sift this dry mixture into the wet ingredients while whisking to form a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 5

Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Grease each cup generously with non-stick spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Evenly pour the batter into the hot muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Work quickly to retain the heat in the pan.

Step 7

Place the tin back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Then, without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 10 minutes or until the popovers are puffy and golden.

Step 8

Remove the popovers from the oven and carefully release them from the tin using a fork or knife. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
