Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs room temp
  • 1 ½ cups milk room temp
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt

Instructions

  • Place the oven rack on the lowest setting in your oven. Place the popover pan onto the rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • In a large bowl add the eggs and milk.
  • Whisk together for 2-3 minutes until well combined and frothy.
  • Add flour and salt to the bowl and whisk until combined with no dry patches.
  • Remove the popover pan from the oven and spray with cooking spray.
  • Divide the batter among the wells of the pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 450°F. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F, and continue to bake for 20 more minutes.
  • Take the pan out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm.

Notes

  1. Don't get hung up if you can't find a popover pan. While you can usually find them fairly cheap- ranging from $5-$30, you can use a muffin tin instead if you can't find one or don't want to pay for it.
  2. Try serving these with some jam and salted butter- pure heaven. 
  3. Be careful when checking the popovers to see if they're done. If you pull them out of the oven too soon, they'll start to deflate. 
  4. Unlike some other pastries, these popovers do not need to rest before baking.
  5. You can make the batter earlier in the day and then refrigerate for baking a few hours later. That way you'll have fresh from the oven Popovers when you're ready for them. 
  6. Always spoon and level your flour, don't just dip from the flour container. 
  7. Make sure your oven rack is on the lowest position so you don't burn the Popovers.
