Description
🥐 These popovers rise into airy, golden puffs that are perfect for breakfast or a side.
✨ With simple pantry ingredients and a few tricks, you can achieve a light, fluffy texture every time.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups (360 ml) whole milk
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, melted
extra butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
1-In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and salt together until smooth.
2-Add the flour and whisk until just combined; no lumps should remain.
3-Whisk in the melted butter. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
4-Pre-heat the oven to 450 °F (230 °C). Place the popover pan (or muffin tin) in the oven and let the wells heat for about 2 minutes.
5-Remove the hot pan, add a small amount of butter to each well, and immediately pour ¼ cup (≈60 ml) batter into each.
6-Bake at 450 °F (230 °C) for 20 minutes.
7-Reduce the oven temperature to 350 °F (175 °C) and continue baking for another 10 minutes.
8-Pierce the tops of the popovers with a knife to release steam, then serve them warm.
Notes
🔥 Keep all ingredients at room temperature to help the batter rise maximally.
🧈 Pre‑heat the pan so the batter gets an immediate lift when poured in.
⏱️ Serve the popovers right away; they soften quickly as they cool.
