Puffy popovers in a muffin tray.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter

Method:

Start Cooking
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, and salt until smooth with a hand whisker.
  • Place baking cups into a muffin pan. Add about ½–1 teaspoon butter into each cup.
  • Put the pan into the oven for about 2–3 minutes, just until the butter melts and is hot.
  • Carefully remove the pan and quickly pour the batter into the hot cups, filling each about halfway.
  • Return the pan to the oven immediately.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until tall, golden, and puffed.
  • Remove and serve right away. Bon appétit.

Notes:

From the kitchen
  • Room temperature eggs and milk help popovers rise higher.
  • Do not open the oven door while baking.
  • Popovers deflate as they cool. That’s normal.
 
Make it yours
  • Add a pinch of black pepper, garlic powder, or paprika to the batter for a savory version.
  • Stir in chopped herbs like parsley, thyme, or dill.
  • Sprinkle grated parmesan or shredded cheese into the cups before baking.
  • For a sweet version, add 1–2 teaspoons sugar and a splash of vanilla.
 
At the table
  • Serve warm popovers with feta cheese, sliced tomatoes, and cucumbers.
  •  They’re also wonderful alongside soups and eggs.
