Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 400F preferably a convection oven if you have one.
  • Put the oven rack on a lower rack, so that the tops of the popovers will be nearer to the middle of the oven
  • In the preheated 400°F oven, heat a large muffin pan on top of a baking sheet for 5 minutes, or until it is hot. Melt about 1 tablespoon of butter in a small bowl in a microwave. Take the muffin pan out of the oven then shut the oven door and brush the muffin pan cups with plenty of melted butter or use vegetable spray.
  • Whisk flour salt in a medium bowl
  • WARM THE LIQUID MIXTURE:
  • Warm this liquid mixture in the microwave or on the stove until it is about lukewarm in temperature or heat it in a small pot on the stove top until it is lukewarm if you do not have a microwave.
  • Do not over heat or you will wind up with scrambled eggs.
  • In a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup, whisk the eggs until the egg yolks and whites are completely mixed and change color to a uniformly pale shade of yellow.
  • ADD THE WARM MILK MIXTURE
  • Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients only until just mixed.
  • There will be some small lumps left in the batter.
  • Fill the cups of the muffin pan half full with the batter using the 2-quart measuring cup directly into the cups of the muffin pan. Replace the muffin pan on the baking sheet in the oven.
  • Bake for 38 to 42 minutes for a standard oven or 30 to 35 minutes for convection oven.
  • Do not open the door for the first twenty minutes of baking.
  • Serve warm with jam or butter.

    I'm a big fan of popovers. The first time I made them I could not believe how easy they were to make. They are so lovely and light! Your photos are beautiful. I'll have to try your recipe.
