Ingredients
Eggs
2 (Large, beaten slightly)
All-Purpose Flour
1 cup (Unbleached, sifted)
Milk
1 cup (Whole or 2% milk, at room temperature)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon (Fine sea salt)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure a good rise on the popovers.
2
Generously grease six 6-ounce custard cups or a standard muffin pan to prevent sticking.
3
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly frothy. Gradually add in the flour, milk, and salt, continuing to whisk until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
4
Fill each prepared custard cup or muffin tin halfway with the batter for optimal rising.
5
Place the cups in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes to achieve that glorious golden color and puffiness.
6
After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Resist the urge to open the oven door during this time to ensure maximum puffiness.
7
Once baked, carefully remove the popovers from the cups and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
8
Enjoy them warm, with butter or your favorite spread, and watch them vanish from the table!
