Perfect Popovers

Course: Side Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (120g) flour all purpose or gluten free (I use Better Batter)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 eggs room temperature and beaten
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted and brought to room temperature

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
  • Mix together flour and salt, creating a well in the center
  • Add milk and eggs, whisking until just combined - you want the batter to have small lumps (this helps with the pop) And no, larger lumps aren't better
  • Pour the batter into a pitcher or bowl with a spout- you want to be able to easily pour into the muffin or popover tin
  • Place 12 cup muffin (or popover) tin into the oven for 3 minutes to warm
  • Remove from oven, and spoon 1 teaspoon of melted butter into each cup (you do not need to use a liner)
  • Divide the batter evenly, filling about half-full
  • Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees F, then reduce to 375 degrees F and continue to bake for 20-25 minutes
  • REPEAT AFTER ME, DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN AT ANY POINT
  • Once your timer digs, remove from the oven, and using your fingers, carefully remove the popovers
  • Best served warm with butter, jam or a good sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. You can also serve with savory meals- dipping in gravy, or as a dinner roll
