Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and generously grease a muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Place the greased tin in the oven as it preheats.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, eggs, and melted butter until everything is fully incorporated.
-
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter – a few lumps are perfectly fine.
-
Once the oven is preheated and the muffin tin is hot, carefully remove it from the oven. Quickly pour the batter into the hot muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
-
Place the filled muffin tin back in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the popovers have puffed up and turned golden brown.
-
Resist the temptation to open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the popovers to collapse.
-
Once baked, remove the popovers from the oven and pierce each one with a sharp knife to release the steam and help them stay crisp.
-
Serve the popovers warm with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a drizzle of honey, or alongside your favorite jam or preserves.
