Equipment

  • 6-cup popover pan
  • Large heatproof bowl
  • Whisk
  • Kitchen towel or tongs

Ingredients

Group: Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature (235 ml.)
  • 1 tsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g.)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Place a 6-cup popover pan in oven until ready to use.
  • In a large heatproof bowl, microwave butter in 15-second increments, stirring between each, until melted. Remove pan from oven and brush with some melted butter. Return pan to oven.
  • Add eggs, milk, sugar, and salt to remaining butter. Vigorously whisk until mixture is frothy, about 30 seconds. Add flour and continue to whisk until very smooth, about 30 seconds more. Divide batter among cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake popovers, without opening oven door, until puffed and deeply golden brown, 28 to 30 minutes.
  • Using a clean kitchen towel or tongs, transfer popovers to a platter and serve.

Serve immediately for the best texture.
