Popovers
Make this simple, scrumptious Popovers with just 5 ingredients and your favorite popover pan or muffin pan. Popovers use steam instead of traditional leavening agents to rise and puff over the top over the pan.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter melted and divided (see note 1)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (see note 2)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position (do not preheat oven). Brush the inside of a standard 6-cup popover pan with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
- In a deep bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter, eggs, and milk. Stir in the flour and salt until just combined. Divide the batter among the popover pan cups, filling each cup about ⅔ full (you can eyeball it, but if you're a stickler, each cup gets about 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon batter).
- Place the popover pan in a cold oven and immediately preheat to 375 degrees. Bake until the popovers are tall, deep golden brown, and puffy, about 35 to 45 minutes. During the first 30 minutes, keep the oven door closed at all times. Do not peek.
- Remove them from the oven and immediately make a small slit in the side of each popover with a paring knife so steam may escape. Cool 5 minutes in pan.

Notes
- Popover pan: I own, use, and recommend the Chicago Metallic Professional Popover pan ($17 on Amazon).
- Butter: You may omit 1 tablespoon butter for brushing the pan and substitute nonstick cooking spray instead.
- Milk: This recipe works with both 2% milk and whole milk. It has not been tested with skim milk.
