Perfect Popovers Recipe (+ tips and video) - Belly Full image

This popover recipe gives you the absolute best popovers, with a crispy exterior & hollow interior. Light, buttery & fabulous!

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large eggs (, room temperature before cracking)
1 1/2 cups whole milk (, lukewarm (about 125 degrees F))
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (, spooned and leveled)
3 tablespoons melted butter (, cooled slightly)

Steps:

  • Using a blender, blend eggs, milk, and salt; add flour, blending until smooth; then add the melted butter at the end, blending until frothy. Let batter rest for 15 minutes while you preheat the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place rack in the bottom third position (to make room for tall popovers and to ensure the tops don't burn!) and another rack in the top position.
  • Place a 6-slot popover pan on a baking sheet; put on the lower rack of oven for 2 minutes while oven is preheating.
  • Spray the hot pan all over (including inside the wells and the outside rim) with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pour the rested batter evenly into the muffin slots, almost to the top.
  • Bake the popovers for 20 minutes without opening the oven door. Reduce the heat to 350°F (again without opening the door), and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until they're tall, have "popped" over the tops of the pan, and are a deep, golden brown.
  • (Without opening the oven door, check them with the oven light during the last few minutes to make sure they're not over-browning. If so, quickly open the door and put a cookie sheet on that upper rack to shield the popovers' tops from direct heat.)
  • Remove them from the oven, and pierce the top or bottom of each with the tip of a pairing knife, to release steam and help prevent sogginess.
  • Slip them out of the pan, split open and serve with butter!
