Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and bring milk and eggs to room temperature to ensure smooth batter and better rise.
  2. Whisk the Batter: In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Add eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly. Gradually pour in milk and melted butter, whisking until smooth and slightly runny.
  3. Preheat the Oven and Pan: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) and place popover tin or muffin pan inside to heat thoroughly for a quick rise.
  4. Fill the Pan: Remove hot pan carefully and pour batter evenly into cups, filling about two-thirds full to allow expansion.
  5. Bake and Avoid Opening: Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake an additional 15-20 minutes without opening the oven door to prevent deflating.
  6. Cool Slightly and Serve: Remove popovers once golden and puffed, cool in pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to keep crispiness intact.

Notes

  • Room temperature eggs and milk help batter combine and rise better.
  • Whisk just enough to combine; overmixing causes tough popovers.
  • Always preheat your pan to ensure dramatic puff and oven spring.
  • Avoid opening the oven during baking to keep steam trapped.
  • Use a nonstick or well-seasoned pan to make removing popovers easier and maintain shape.
