  4. Once oven is pre-heated, remove hot pan from oven, grease popover pan or muffin tins with cooking spray, and fill 2/3 full.

Notes

  • Everything needs to be room temperature - eggs and milk! Our reader Heather says that it is actually best to leave eggs out overnight to come to room temp then use them.

  • Use muffin tins if you don't have a popover pan. Julia shares that she bakes popovers in small pyrex glass dishes coated with shortening and hot from the oven before adding the popover mixture.  Miarta tells us that she uses small flower pots that have been cleaned and greased.
  • Reader Karen suggests to check after 20 minutes because some bake quicker than others.
  • Optional ingredients to add to the batter: chopped meat, Dijon mustard, cheese, fresh ground pepper.
