Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoon butter softened, for greasing the pan
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Prep Pan: Grease the popover/muffin tray well with the butter. You can either use softened butter to easily grease the popover cups, or melted butter and use a brush to thoroughly brush the cups. You can pour any leftover butter in the bottom of each cup. Place the pan in the oven and preheat it for 2 minutes.
  3. Blend Ingredients: Add all remaining ingredients to a blender and blend until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. The batter will look similar to a crepe batter.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter in the preheated muffin cups ¾ of the way through. You should have enough to make 12 popovers. Transfer the pan to the oven on the middle rack and place a large baking sheet on the lower rack, in case there's any spillage. Bake for 30 minutes. Make sure to check them so they don't over-brown. Gently slip them out of the pan and serve.

Notes

  • ¾
  • The most important recommendation I can give is to make sure you butter your popover pan thoroughly!
  • Place a large baking sheet under the popover pan to catch any spillage.
  • Make sure to fill your pan ¾ of the way. Any more and your popovers will quite literally "pop" over top of the pan and you'll end up with a big mess!
  • I kept these pretty basic, but there are many variations of these popovers! Feel free to make these your own by incorporating some different ingredients such as cheese or herbs.
  • There is enough batter to make the 12 to 16 popovers. Usually if I have leftover batter, I'll just makes crepes with the it.
  • You can store these churro poppers for up to 1 to 2 days sealed in an airtight container. With that said, they are best enjoyed warm so I highly recommend scarfing them down fresh!
  • You can also freeze any leftover baked popovers for up to 3 months! Just store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To reheat, place the popovers straight from the freezer into a 350°F oven and bake for about 8 minutes or until warm and crispy.
