Ingredients

Softened butter for greasing pans, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups whole milk, at room temperature

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Generously grease aluminum popover pans or custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, thyme, 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.

Serve hot.

not quite right
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

i decided to try this recipe since i just got a new popover pan, had some leftover thyme, and looove the barefoot contessa. ... well, i have to say i was underwhelmed by the results. the popovers were pretty bland. they need something more...salt? cheese? i will try again, next time, adding some more flavor.Read more

Easy and fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My sister made these for a holiday dinner for her family and raved about them. I copied her dinner and made the popovers with... baked chicken breasts (w/thyme and rosemary) and my family loved them, said it felt like they went out to a restaurant for a special dinner. The best part is they are so easy, healthy and delicious. Thank you Ina and Jennifer (my sister)!Read more

Easy way to impress your guests!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

LOVE this popover recipe! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I agree with some of the other reviewers, I double the amount of thyme, for... more color and flavor. I also have added approx 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, I have found that I can still bake them for the same time and temp and the texture is still delicate and flakey on the inside. This recipe has become a staple in my cooking. THANK YOU INA!Read more

Great even if you don't have popover pans
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these popovers for Thanksgiving and they were wonderful! I didn't have popover pans, but muffin pans worked fine. ... They were delicious right out of the oven, and great at room temperature for about 5 more days. I will definitely make these again.Read more

Thyme Popovers, Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for Thanksgiving. Easy, tasted great. I added double the Thyme. The flavor was perfect. When I took the... Turkey out to rest for 30 minutes, I waited 15, then put them in the oven. By time the Turkey had rested for 30 minutes and was carved, the pop overs were done. They were beautiful. Even took picture. Will use again, and again. Impressive. Thanks, Linda, Palm Desert, CARead more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love the crispy outside contrasted with the soft chewy inside. I baked mine around 23 minutes and they were perfect - any... longer and they would've burned, so watch closely. Will be making many more times!Read more
