Ingredients
Ingredients
milk
3 1/2 cups (warm in microwave)
flour
4 cups (sifted)
salt
1 1/2 teaspoons (sifted with flour)
baking powder
1 teaspoon (sifted with flour)
eggs
6 (room temperature)
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (added to batter)
cinnamon
1 teaspoon (added to batter)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and ensure that the rack is positioned in the center.
2
Allow the eggs to come to room temperature by leaving them out for about 30 minutes.
3
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk on high for 2 minutes until warm but not boiling. Stir and set aside.
4
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
5
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the room temperature eggs and warm milk. Mix on low speed until well combined.
6
Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the egg and milk mixture while mixing on low speed.
7
Add the cinnamon and vanilla extract, then beat the batter on high for 2 minutes until smooth and light.
8
Let the batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour; this allows the gluten to relax, ensuring a puffier popover.
9
Grease your popover pan generously with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter.
10
Carefully pour the batter into the greased popover cups, filling them about halfway full.
11
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to give a good initial rise, then lower the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
12
Once removed from the oven, serve immediately while hot, accompanied by butter, honey, or your favorite jam for the perfect finishing touch.
