Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 1 teaspoon room temperature for pan
  • 4 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 1 cup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Grease a 6-cup popover pan with the 1 teaspoon of butter.

Place all of the ingredients into a food processor or blender and process for 30 seconds. Divide the batter evenly between the cups of the popover pan, each should be about 1/3 to 1/2 full. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 40 minutes. Remove the popovers to a cooling rack and pierce each in the top with a knife to allow steam to escape. Serve warm.

    Great recipe! I make these all the time. I do use 1% milk rather than whole. I actually think they taste better that way. Wanted to put in nutritional info, but can't seem to figure out how to do that in my own recipe box. So, this is for me- (with 1% milk 6 servings. 130 calories, 2 grams fat, 17 carbs, 5 grams protein. Not bad for such a yummy treat!
    Salt amount- I find to be perfect using course Kosher salt. I also forgot to preheat my pan last time I made these and they still rose perfectly...

    Most popover recipes fail to mention the most important thing about making popovers: The popover pan should be put in the oven and heated up before pouring in batter. This is essential go get popovers to "pop" and grow to those glorious hollow culinary treats. The hot popover cups cause the batter to instantly cook on the edge of the cup and the batter has nowhere to go but UP! I learned this after many of my popovers never popped and I talked to a chef at Mariposa restaurant in Neiman Marcus in Honolulu. So, always use a popover pan and ALWAYS HEAT THE PAN!Tasty? What did you think?
