Photo: Basic Popovers Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 1 teaspoon for the pan
- 4 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
Directions
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease a 6-cup popover pan with the 1 teaspoon of butter.
Combine the 1 tablespoon of butter, the flour, salt, eggs and milk in a food processor or blender and process for 30 seconds.
Divide the batter evenly among the cups of the popover pan, filling each one-third to one-half full. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 40 minutes, taking care not to open the oven door. Remove the popovers to a cooling rack and pierce each one in the top with a knife to allow steam to escape. Serve warm.

Wonderful I did not have whole milk just 2% so I use half of that and half heavy cream.
FOR everyone that says its too salty YOUR NOT using kosher salt and UNSALTED BUTTER. Also any one that does a lot of baking or even a little needs a kitchen scale no matter what time of year my breads and cakes come out perfect by using a scale.

definitely don't use 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt...what??? I think 1/4 teaspoonfuls is adequate!

Oh my goodness, a taste sensation! My husband made these just this morning. Tall, light, fluffy pillows popping out of our popover pan...and it only took the first bite to deem these better than doughnuts, fritters, scones, English muffins, or any other of my previous favorite indulgences.
He used eggs given to us by friends with hens, so used 3 small instead of the 2 large called for. We used all-skim milk, and 1 cup flour (approx equal to 4-3/4 ounces. Turned out tall and airy, and when pulled open these have hollow, pillow-soft interiors just perfect for dipping in our neighbor's home-grown honey.
Absolutely divine.
