Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 c whole milk
2 Tbsp melted butter, divided
2 large eggs
2 6-cup deep well popover pans (or muffin pan)
OPTIONAL METHOD
1 c whole wheat flour may be used instead of all-purpose flour
1/4 c sugar may be added for sweetness
(no changes needed in baking method)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease and heat the popover pans in the oven.
  • 2. Combine all the ingredients except 1 tablespoon melted butter. Do not over-beat the batter. Batter will be thin and have small lumps of flour.
  • 3. Brush the heated popover pans with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Fill each well about 1/2 full with the batter.
  • 4. Bake on middle rack of of oven for 15 minutes. Do Not Open Oven Door, but reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 20 minutes. Popovers will be a nice golden brown and have a crusty outside.
  • 5. Remove from oven. With a toothpick, poke a small hole in each popover to release steam. Remove from pans and enjoy while hot.
  • 6. May be eaten for breakfast with butter and jelly; or with main dishes as dinner rolls. Popovers will be crusty on the outside, and very soft with air pockets on the inside.
