Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 2 cups milk 1% is best, but 2% is okay if you have it already, 1% low fat
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 3 egg large
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • vegetable shortening or cooking spray for greasing pans

Notes

  • Butter is not recommended for greasing the pans due to its water content.
  • Always use room-temperature eggs and milk. This will make it easier to mix the ingredients together and result in a smooth batter. 
  • Do not over-mix the batter. Overmixing can result in dense popovers, so stop as soon as the batter is smooth and everything is incorporated.
  • Let the batter rest. This will help the bread flour fully absorb the liquid for better texture. 
  • Do not overfill the muffin cups. Only fill them ¾ of the way to give them space to rise as they bake without over-spilling. 
  • Leaving the middle two muffin cups empty will promote even cooking.
  • Once the popovers are in the oven, avoid opening the oven door, especially during the initial baking period. Sudden temperature changes can cause them to deflate.
  • To help the steam escape and prevent the popovers from deflating, pierce each popover with a skewer or toothpick a few minutes before the end of the baking time.
