- To grease the muffin tins with butter.
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (skim, 2% or whole)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Adjust a rack to the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 425°F. Spread butter liberally on the bottom, sides, and spaces between the cups of a standard muffin tin.
- Bring the ingredients to room temperature by covering the eggs with hot water in a bowl for 10 minutes. Warm cold milk in a microwave-safe cup for 30 seconds, or until it is warm to the touch. (Alternatively, heat the milk in a saucepan on the stovetop.)
- In order to mix the batter, crack the eggs into a blender. Blend the milk, salt, sugar, and flour for 30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and frothy. Blend in the melted butter to incorporate. Alternately, you can combine the ingredients in a large bowl using a whisk. Alicia Vargas
- Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling each slightly more than halfway. Bake the popovers. Without opening the oven door, bake on the lowest shelf for 20 minutes. It is essential not to peek into the oven while it is baking. Popovers require the oven’s steam in order to rise. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 8 minutes. You may now peek! Open the oven and determine if the popovers are sufficiently browned. If not, bake for an additional five minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

- Popovers are best served while still warm from the oven. Serve them with dinner as you would a roll, or enjoy them with butter and jam for breakfast.

Popovers are one of the most comforting breakfast and brunch foods. However, when made savory or unsweetened, they are the ideal accompaniment to hearty holiday meals. They are, after all, the American version of the Yorkshire pudding served with Sunday roast, minus the beef fat.
- But how can leftover popovers be reheated without becoming soggy? Popovers are best reheated in the oven.
- Toaster ovens, convection ovens, and air fryers are alternate cooking methods.
- Reheating them in the microwave is not advised because it causes them to become soggy.
- However, proper storage is required lest they become soggy and difficult to reheat.
Typically, popovers are consumed directly from the oven. They can be enjoyed for breakfast with jam, as part of a festive meal, or with a bowl of comforting soup. However, it is not always practical to consume an entire batch of popovers in one sitting, and we often overestimate how much our stomachs can hold.
Should you rest batter for popovers?
Tips for Optimal Popover Recipe Results –
- Level and spoon the flour. Don’t scoop! This ensures that the correct amount is measured.
- Before mixing, the eggs should be at room temperature (before cracking) and the milk should be warm. This results in an emulsion that traps air. This trapped air expands and produces a fluffy baked good as it bakes in the oven.
- Allow the batter to sit at room temperature while you preheat the oven. Resting the batter produces popovers with a lighter texture and better rise (as opposed to chewy). At least fifteen minutes is required for the starch molecules to expand and the gluten to loosen.
- Spray the tin liberally with nonstick spray, including the wells and the rim, so that the rolls can be easily removed.
- Place an oven rack on the third-lowest shelf. If the fully risen popovers are placed too close to the oven’s top, they risk burning.
- Do not open the oven door during baking. This could lead to their deflation. If they are browning too quickly, you can open the oven door during the final 5 minutes and place a cookie sheet on the top oven rack to shield the popovers from the heat.
- Allow the steam to escape after baking is complete. Turn out the popovers immediately onto a wire rack and cut a small slit in the side of each one with a paring knife to release the steam.
