Ingredients
Ingredients
eggs
2 (large, beaten)
milk
1 cup (at room temperature)
melted butter
1 tablespoon (cooled)
all-purpose flour
1 cup (sifted)
salt
1/2 teaspoon (fine)
softened butter
as needed (for greasing popover cups)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position the oven rack in the lower third. Generously grease each cup of the popover pan with softened butter to ensure easy release after baking.
2
In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, room temperature milk, melted butter, flour, and salt. Blend for about 40 seconds, ensuring to scrape down the sides several times, until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
3
Alternatively, if you're mixing by hand, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter in a large bowl. Gradually add the flour and salt, beating the mixture until it’s very smooth and free of lumps.
4
Pour the batter into the prepared popover cups, filling each one halfway to two-thirds full for optimal rising. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the popovers are puffed up and golden brown.
5
Avoid opening the oven door during the baking process, as this may cause the popovers to collapse.
6
Once baked, remove the popovers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
