With a crisp outer shell and soft, custardy center, these popovers are perfect served warm straight from the oven, whether you slather them with butter, drizzle them with honey, or pair them with savory toppings. Ready in just 35 minutes, this simple yet elegant recipe is a must-try for anyone looking for an impressive, crowd-pleasing dish.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a standard 12-cup muffin tin in the oven as it preheats to get it hot.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then gradually whisk in the milk.
Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Whisk in the melted unsalted butter until it is fully incorporated into the batter.
Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and generously coat each cup with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Quickly pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway full.
Place the muffin tin back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven door during this time to ensure the popovers puff properly.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the popovers cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your light and airy Muffin Tin Popovers!
