Description
Classic Popovers are golden, airy rolls with a crispy shell and hollow interior. They’re easy, versatile, and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1½ cups whole milk, warmed to about 110°F
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 3 tablespoons melted butter, slightly cooled
Instructions
- Combine eggs, milk, and salt in a blender.
- Add flour and blend until smooth, then add the melted butter and blend until frothy.
- Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and place a popover pan on a baking sheet in the oven for 2 minutes.
- Remove the pan and spray wells and rims with nonstick cooking spray.
- Fill each well almost to the top with the rested batter.
- Bake for 20 minutes without opening the oven, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 10 more minutes until golden and puffed.
- Remove from oven, pierce each popover with a knife to release steam, and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use room-temperature eggs and warm milk for best results.
- Letting the batter rest helps create taller, lighter popovers.
- Do not open the oven during baking—this can cause them to deflate.
- You can add herbs, cheese, or cinnamon sugar for flavor variations.
