These easy popovers baked in a muffin tin develop a golden, crispy crust with a soft, custardy interior. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory side, this recipe requires no special equipment and yields light, airy popovers every time.

Ingredients

Popovers

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • Nonstick spray or additional melted butter for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place the muffin tin inside to heat thoroughly. This ensures the batter begins cooking immediately upon contact, encouraging a good rise.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and warm milk until the mixture turns frothy, which adds air and lightness to the batter.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
  4. Incorporate Butter: Stir in the melted butter to provide richness and help create a tender crumb.
  5. Prepare Muffin Tin: Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and grease each cup thoroughly with nonstick spray or melted butter to prevent sticking and support rise.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the batter into each cup, filling them about halfway to allow room for the popovers to puff up.
  7. Bake: Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes to set the structure and encourage puffing. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the popovers are fully puffed and golden brown.
  8. Rest and Serve: Let the popovers rest for 1 minute in the pan, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes

  • Always preheat the muffin tin before adding batter to ensure the popovers puff properly.
  • Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent the popovers from collapsing.
  • For extra flavor, mix in grated cheese or fresh herbs into the batter before baking.
