There are three secrets to great popovers: Make sure the pan is hot before you pour in the batter, fill each section not more than half full and no peeking while they're in the oven!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus softened butter for greasing pans
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups milk, at room temperature
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Generously grease aluminum popover pans or Pyrex custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for exactly 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek.

Amazing!! So easy to make and everyone loved them. Perfect texture and they rose beautifully. No changes except to watch baking time as they may be done a couple minutes earlier.

i made these for an impromptu brunch, and they came out delish. but the oven temperature/baking time factor is something i needed to keep in mind, because my oven tends to bake in less time than most. they came out perfectly in 26 minutes, and they were the main event for everyone!! brushed them lightly with a bit of melted butter. since i do not have a popover pan or individual custard cups, they did come out a bit large in a muffin pan, but that was quite alright with us. my daughter wants me to make them for her french class valentine's party next month

I've made these popovers multiple times, rave reviews every time! But with only one oven, timing for the meal can be tricky when you can't open the oven for 30 minutes. So for Christmas this year, once I had the main dinner out of the oven I threw in the popovers. By the time we had the rest of the meal (maple-bourbon ham and scalloped potatoes rested and plated, glasses filled and guests seated, it was only another 15 minutes before the popovers were ready. I loved serving the mid-meal surprise! (Of course I let the guests know to save room!
