Instructions
1
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and pepper. Sauté the onions until they become tender and translucent, about 5-7 minutes, ensuring they do not brown.
2
Once the onions are cooked, divide them evenly among eight 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups, spreading them out evenly.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and milk until they are fully combined. Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry flour mixture, stirring just until blended and smooth; do not overmix.
5
Carefully fill each ramekin with approximately 1/4 cup of the batter, ensuring that the onions are covered.
6
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once the oven is ready, place the filled ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the popovers puff up and are golden brown on top.

Remove from the oven, serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
