Easy Classic Popovers
First, let’s set the stage with a gorgeous image of what you’re about to create:
Ingredients
To make these scrumptious popovers, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Follow these steps to whip up a batch of these tasty popovers:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). It’s important to have the oven nice and hot for the popovers to rise properly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Whisk them together to ensure that they are evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add this to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Stir in the melted butter until it’s evenly incorporated into the batter.
- Next, grease a standard popover pan or a muffin tin lightly with butter or oil. This will help the popovers release easily once they are baked.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cup about halfway full. It’s essential not to fill them too much to allow for proper puffing.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes @ 450°F to create that ideal rise. After the first 20 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the popovers from the oven. Let them cool for a minute or two before gently removing them from the pan.
- Serve warm, and if desired, fill them with jams, jellies, clotted cream, or even your favorite soup!
These easy classic popovers are sure to impress your family and friends. With their light, airy texture and delectable taste, they are perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your baking adventure and savor every bite!
