Popovers

These popovers bake up beautifully tall and crispy, with a melt-in-your-mouth, eggy interior and crisp, golden crust—no popover pan necessary. Cheese optional, but highly recommended!

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and set an oven rack in the lower-middle middle position, allowing at least 5 inches (13 cm) of space above the rack for the popovers to rise. Place a 12-cup muffin pan in the oven while you make the batter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and salt. Whisk in half of the milk. Add the flour and whisk until completely smooth. Add the remaining milk and whisk until combined.
  3. Carefully remove the muffin pan from the oven and generously spray the whole pan, including the parts between the cups, with non-stick cooking spray. Pour or ladle the batter into the muffin cups, filling to just below the rim. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the batter, if using. Return the pan to the oven (remember it’s hot!) and bake until puffed and golden-brown, 40 to 50 minutes. (Don’t open the oven to check until after the 35-minute mark, or you’ll risk the popovers deflating.)
  4. Lift the popovers out of the pan and onto a serving platter. Serve immediately. The popovers will deflate a bit as they cool; this is normal.
