Ingredients
-
3 large eggs, room temperature
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 cups milk, lukewarm
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Batter
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until fully combined and smooth.
Allow the batter to rest at room temperature while the oven preheats. This helps produce lighter, fluffier popovers.
3. Prepare the Pan
Generously grease a popover pan with butter or cooking spray, making sure to coat the wells and rim.
4. Fill the Pan
Pour the batter into each popover cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
5. Bake
Bake for 35 minutes until the popovers are puffed, golden, and crispy.
Important:
Do not open the oven door while baking, as this can cause the popovers to collapse.
6. Serve
Serve immediately while warm for the best texture.
Notes
Use a Popover Pan
While muffin tins can work, a dedicated popover pan allows the batter to rise higher and creates the classic hollow interior.
Room Temperature Ingredients
Eggs and milk should be room temperature to help the batter rise properly and produce a lighter texture.
Rest the Batter
Letting the batter rest while the oven preheats improves structure and puff.
Grease Generously
Coat the pan thoroughly to prevent sticking, especially around the rim, since popovers rise above the cup.
Give Them Space
Ensure the oven rack above the popovers is high enough so they have room to expand.
