Step by step

Method

6 steps

1. 1

   Gather all the ingredients and preheat the oven to 450°F.

2. 2

   In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, and salt until smooth.

3. 3

   Gradually add the flour, whisking until the batter is lump-free. Then add melted butter and mix until smooth. Let it rest at room temperature for 5–10 minutes. Meanwhile, place a muffin tin into the preheated oven for 3 minutes to heat up.

4. 4

   Remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and spray each cup thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray. Carefully fill each cup about ¾ full with batter.

5. 5

   Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes. Do not open the oven during this time, the steam is what makes the popovers rise. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 15–18 minutes, or until the popovers are golden, puffed, and set.

6. 6

   Serve immediately while warm to prevent them from collapsing. Top with butter, honey, or jam if desired.
