Ingredients
Method
- Whisk flour and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl whisk eggs, milk, and 2 tbsp melted butter until frothy. Pour wet into dry and whisk smooth, about 1 minute.
- Rest the batter, covered, at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) with a 6-cup popover pan or muffin tin on the lower rack and ½ tsp butter in each cup you will use.
- Remove the hot pan, quickly ladle batter into the cups to fill halfway (popover pan) or slightly over halfway (muffin tin), and return the pan to the oven.
- Bake 20 minutes at 425°F (220°C) without opening the door, then lower to 350°F (175°C) and bake 10 to 15 minutes until deeply browned. Turn popovers out immediately and serve hot.
Notes
The batter needs a 30-minute rest before baking; that time is not part of the hands-on prep. For the tallest popovers, a preheated cast-iron popover pan makes a noticeable difference, though a muffin tin still works.
