Ingredients:

• 8 eggs
• 2 cups milk
• Pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Place a popover pan in the oven with ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil in each cup. Heat for 10 minutes.

2. Mixing the Batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly.
   • Add milk, salt, sugar, and flour to the eggs. Hand mix the batter for about one minute. It’s important not to over-mix to maintain the light texture of the popovers.

3. Baking:

   • Carefully remove the heated popover pan from the oven.
   • Fill each cup of the popover pan about 3/4 full with the batter.
   • Place the popover pan on a cookie sheet to catch any drips and to evenly distribute heat.

4. Baking Process:

   • Bake the popovers at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes to initiate the rising process.
   • After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.

5. Finishing:

   • To ensure the popovers are fully cooked inside and to prevent them from collapsing, check if they sound hollow when tapped. This indicates they are done.
   • Remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

6. Serving:

   • Serve the popovers warm. They can be enjoyed plain or with a variety of toppings such as butter, jam, or honey.

Tips for Success:

• Popover Pan: Using a popover pan is essential for achieving the classic popover shape and texture. If you don’t have a popover pan, you can use a muffin tin, but the results may vary.

• Temperature Control: The initial high temperature helps the popovers rise quickly, while the lower temperature allows them to bake through without burning.

• Avoid Over-Mixing: Over-mixing can result in dense popovers. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined to maintain a light and airy texture.

• Serve Immediately: Popovers are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when they are at their peak puffiness and warmth.

This easy popover recipe is perfect for beginners and experienced bakers alike, offering a simple yet impressive addition to any meal. Enjoy these airy delights for breakfast, brunch, or as a tasty accompaniment to soups and salads.
