Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter (plus extra for greasing pan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and ensure the eggs and milk are at room temperature to encourage maximum rise and better batter consistency.
  2. Mix the Batter: Whisk together eggs, milk, and salt until combined. Gradually add the flour, stirring gently to create a smooth, thin batter without lumps.
  3. Preheat the Oven and Pan: Heat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place your popover pan or muffin tin with a bit of butter inside for a few minutes until the butter sizzles and melts—this hot start is crucial for the popover’s dramatic rise.
  4. Pour and Bake: Carefully fill each cup about halfway with batter from the hot pan, then slide it immediately into the oven. Bake for 15 minutes at 450°F, then reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 15-20 minutes until deeply golden and puffed.
  5. Cool Slightly Before Serving: Remove from the oven and allow your popovers to cool just a bit before gently removing them from the tin to keep their structure intact and ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the batter mix evenly and achieve a better rise.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to avoid tough popovers.
  • Preheating the pan with butter is essential to create a puffy, crisp shell.
  • Avoid opening the oven door during baking to maintain consistent heat and proper rising.
  • Serve popovers fresh out of the oven for maximum crispness and fluffiness.
