Whip up a batch of golden, airy magic with these Quick and Easy Popovers! Perfectly crisp on the outside and irresistibly fluffy on the inside, this recipe uses just five simple ingredients—flour, eggs, milk, butter, and a pinch of salt—to create a showstopping treat in under 40 minutes. With minimal prep time and no special equipment required (a muffin tin works just fine!), these homemade popovers rise to perfection in a hot oven and deliver a bakery-quality result every time. Whether served warm with butter and jam for breakfast, or as a crowd-pleasing side at dinner, these versatile popovers are a go-to solution for effortless comfort food.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a 6-cup muffin tin or a popover pan in the oven to heat while prepping the batter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the milk and melted butter, and whisk until combined.
Gradually sift the flour and salt into the wet ingredients. Whisk the mixture together until smooth. The batter will be thin.
Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven, and lightly grease each cup with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cups, filling each one about halfway full.
Place the pan back into the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven during this time.
After 20 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the popovers are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately take the popovers out of the pan to prevent them from becoming soggy. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
