Ingredients

• 60 grams rye flour
• 60 grams all-purpose flour
• 240 milliliters whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons unsalted butter, for greasing the pan

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a muffin tin or popover pan in the oven to warm while you prepare the batter.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rye flour, all-purpose flour, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are fully blended. Gradually add the milk to the eggs, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking thoroughly to create a smooth batter.

Step 5

Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven and quickly grease each cup with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Fill each cup about halfway with the batter, working quickly to maintain the pan's heat.

Step 8

Place the pan back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven door during this time, as the popovers need consistent heat to rise properly.

Step 9

After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the popovers are golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and carefully transfer the popovers to a wire rack to avoid sogginess from trapped steam.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
