Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter plus more for greasing the muffin pans
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Place your oven rack on the lowest position. Pre-heat oven to 425 F. Grease ten large muffin cups with melted butter. Place them on a large baking sheet(s). Position them with about 2 inches or more space in between to allow room for the popovers to expand.
  • Add all the ingredients in  a large bowl and using a hand held beater, beat the mixture until smooth. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the cups. Divide remaining batter into the cups until all batter is used up. If you are using a regular muffin pan, you have to leave one slot in between that is unfilled so to give room for the expansion of the popovers.
  • Bake for 15 minutes without opening the oven door.  The popovers should be all puffed up, crisp and golden brown. Lower temperature to 350 F and bake for 10-15 more minutes. 
  • Popovers can be served with butter, honey or maple syrup and whipping cream, together with some fruits. They are also great sides to savory dishes like steak and stew.
