Popovers

These popovers are so good it’s hard to believe they are so simple to make. The secret is starting with a cold oven. And don’t peek for the full 30 minutes.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    yields 12 popovers

Ingredients

4 eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Grease 12 large muffin-tin cups or 12 custard cups. If using custard cups, place them in a shallow pan. Break the eggs into a bowl; beat well with a fork or whisk. Add the milk, flour, and salt, and beat until just blended. Fill the muffin tins or custard cups three-quarters full with the batter. Place the pan on a rack in the center of the oven. Set the oven at 450 degrees and turn it on. Bake for 30 minutes without opening the oven door. Serve the popovers hot with plenty of butter, jam, syrup, or honey.
