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

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. 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.

I currently I live in the dessert Southwest currently at 4800’ of elevation and lived at 7000’ for years. I these always come out perfect. I use a 6 cup USA pan and 2 Pyrex custard cups. I spray with Pam. The preheat is very important as is making the batter smooth - no lumps. Fill cups 2/3 full and custard cups 1/2 full.
