Description
Classic popovers are light and airy with a crisp exterior and hollow interior, made from simple ingredients with no yeast or rising time required. Perfect for breakfast or as a savory side.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups whole milk, lukewarm
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 3 tablespoons melted butter, cooled slightly
Instructions
- In a blender, blend the eggs, milk, and salt until well combined.
- Add the flour and blend again until smooth.
- Add the melted butter and blend until the batter becomes frothy.
- Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and position a rack in the lower third.
- Place a 6-cup popover pan on a baking sheet and warm it in the oven for 2 minutes.
- Remove the hot pan and spray the wells generously with nonstick spray.
- Pour the batter into the wells, filling them nearly to the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes without opening the oven door.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 10 minutes, until tall and golden.
- Remove from the oven and pierce each popover with a sharp knife to release steam.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Do not open the oven door during the first 20 minutes of baking.
- Preheating the pan is key for a high rise.
- Pierce popovers immediately after baking to avoid sogginess.
- Best served fresh, but can be reheated to restore texture.
