– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup whole milk
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing the pan)
Creating light & buttery classic popovers is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a popover pan or muffin tin with vegetable oil and place it in the oven as it preheats.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well combined.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, and then add the milk and melted butter, stirring until mixed.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
6. Pour the Batter: Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Fill each cup about halfway with the batter.
7. Bake: Return the tin to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
8. Monitor Baking: Avoid opening the oven door during baking; this may cause the popovers to collapse.
9. Cool Slightly: Once done, remove the popovers from the oven. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then gently transfer them to a wire rack.
10. Serve Warm: These are best when served warm right out of the oven.
With these easy steps, you’ll master the art of making Light & Buttery Classic Popovers!
