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.

    Im curious if the salt in this recipe works to help it rise?? I say this because I found them delicious but a bit to salty. Id like to cut in half

    I've made these quite a few times now with veried results. In my oven at my house I have a convection oven and they rise fantastically. I'm struggling in another oven however getting them to rise. That is frustrating considering past successes.

    OMG...Yummy! I made popover rolls for the first time for Thanksgiving and they were a hit. Not only did it make me seem like a "superstar" chef for trying something new, but they tasted great too! I was a little unsure at first. The batter seemed way too thin, but I was wrong. The popover rolls came out perfect. They had a light flaky texture inside and they had a buttery taste. Definitely use a popover baking tray to get the full effect. Great and simple recipe!
