Preparation
Step 1
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
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. Minis cook 10 min. less
Step 2
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!
The classic way to serve popovers is piping hot with butter or jam. Flavored butters are especially good, as are peanut butter, honey and maple syrup.
A popular addition to popover batter is grated cheese — cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, American, Parmesan, and other cheeses that are easy to grate and melt. You can also add herbs and spices. Regardless of the additional ingredients, add only a modest amount so the popover batter isn't weighed down and can puff up.
Using a popover pan, this recipe will make six standard popovers; or 18 minis. The minis need to bake about 10 minutes less than indicated; the standard popovers, about 5 minutes more.
