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.

Disappointed
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I was disappointed in these popovers. There was no hollow center and they were really just giant muffins. They were still... tasty, however my husband, who loves popovers, was disappointed. They were easy to make however.Read more

I've made better
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

These are easy to make and taste find, but are a little too bread-y for a popover.

FABULOUS!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make these popovers every Christmas Eve to serve with my Prime Rib. I use Popover Pans and about a teaspoon of drippings... from the roast in the bottom of each cup. From the very first time I made them they were perfect. Large, puffy and delicious. Easy recipe wonderful result. Read more

Perfect Popovers
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I bought a popover pan six months ago at least and was afraid to use it. Never made a popver before. Ina's recipe was so... quick and simple that I will make this recipe again and again. I could not believe the size of the popovers when I peaked through the oven window. Huge and golden, and no messy pan afterwards. Love, love love it. Read more

My Husband was impressed
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just found a set of popover pans (the good ones) at Goodwill for $2.99- I had to buy them and see if I could do it. My... first time I have ever attempted as I am NOT a great cook. Thank you for all the extra tips, I need all the help I can get. They not only turned out, but my husband said they were as good as the Fireside Inn use to make in Willmar Minnesota! I whipped up some honey butter and they were gone within 15 minutes. I can hardly wait to impress my kids at Christmas.Read more

oh my god!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

as of now they are still in the oven, 2 minutes to go and they look incredible! nice and brown and standing tall, just like... buns of steel. i have followed the recipe along with the comments of the Dallas, TX gal whose husband made them, except instead of bacon grease i used butter. WOW! i just took them out, i might eat all twelve tonight. i had no problem with the recipe and i have an old junky stove (supermatic) whose door doesn't seal closed so heat leaks out and to get 425 i have to turn it to 550. anyway, bon apetite to me.....Read more
