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.

BEST POPOVERS EVER ~ TRY THESE TIPS
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Ina's Popovers were right on the mark. After testing the recipe from Williams-Sonoma, Ina's popovers had a less eggy, better... texture and even tasted better. Here are tips for those of you who were disappointed (don't want you to miss out!) 1. Very Important! Buy a Popover pan. 2. Preheat the oven for at least ten minutes. Make sure temp is exactly 425 degrees 3. Get your batter ready in a measuring cup to pour directly into the pan 4. Place ungreased popover pan in oven for EXACTLY two minutes. 5. Remove pan from oven, quickly butter the cups and pour batter in 6. Place popover pan on a baking sheet on middle rack. 7. Bake at 425 for EXACTLY 30 minutes--Do not open the oven. If you follow all of these tips, you are guaranteed to get great popovers, which are just perfect for breakfast leftovers. Good Luck! Read more

Popovers
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe exactly and mine came out kind of flat...easy to say that you are " simply not following directions "... but things don't always turn out like you expect. Love Ina's recipes best so certainly no insult to her, but I am glad that I tried them out before the holidays..will go back to the old recipe I had, if I can find that cookbook anywhereRead more

The Perfect Pop-Over
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If these are coming out like muffins, you are simply not following the directions. This recipe is perfect, but you MUST... measure exact, and make sure you are being very careful with pre-heating the oven and tins and your ingredients are not cold....they are just too good!Read more

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.
