Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0 Nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing pan)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and position the rack in the lower third of the oven.
Step 2
Generously grease a 6-cup popover pan or a regular muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and frothy.
Step 4
Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet mixture, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Stir in the melted butter.
Step 5
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Avoid overfilling as the popovers need space to rise.
Step 6
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 450°F (230°C) for 15 minutes. DO NOT open the oven door during this time.
Step 7
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and puffed.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately poke a small hole in the top of each popover with a knife to release steam. This will help maintain their structure.
Step 9
Serve the popovers warm with butter, jam, or your favorite accompaniment.
