Ingredients
Popovers Ingredients
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 6 eggs
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 4½ teaspoons powdered sugar
- Butter, for greasing the popover tin
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven to ensure even heat distribution for rising.
- Prepare the Pan: Generously butter a 12-cup popover tin, coating each cup thoroughly to prevent sticking and help with browning.
- Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk the milk and eggs together until blended. Add the flour, salt, and powdered sugar; whisk just briefly to combine the dry ingredients without overmixing. Small lumps in the batter are fine.
- Fill the Tin: Spoon 5 tablespoons of the batter into each cup of the prepared popover tin, filling evenly but not overfull.
- Bake: Place the tin in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until the popovers have puffed up dramatically—about 3 inches above the pan—and are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve: Remove immediately from the oven and carefully turn the popovers out of the pan. Serve warm for optimal puffiness and texture.
Notes
- Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the popovers to collapse.
- Butter your tin generously to help the popovers rise and release easily.
- Small lumps in the batter are okay; avoid overmixing to keep the popovers light.
- Serve popovers immediately after baking for the best texture; they may deflate if allowed to cool in the pan.
