Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter
In a large jar or mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, sugar, melted butter, and egg. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring there are no lumps. The batter should have a liquid consistency, reminiscent of pancake batter, making it easy to pour. -
-
Grease the Muffin Tin
Generously brush the cups of a 6-cup nonstick muffin pan with softened butter. This step is crucial as it ensures that your popovers will rise beautifully and not stick to the pan. Make sure to coat the sides as well as the bottoms for easy removal. -
Fill the Muffin Cups
Carefully pour the prepared batter evenly into the six muffin cups, filling each cup about halfway. This allows enough room for the popovers to puff up as they bake, creating that lovely airy texture. -
Bake the Popovers
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Once the oven is hot, place the muffin pan inside and bake for 15 minutes. After this initial time, reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for an additional 17 minutes. The popovers should rise dramatically and turn a beautiful golden brown. -
Release Steam
Once baked, carefully pierce each popover with a sharp knife to let out any steam. This step prevents them from becoming soggy and ensures they remain light and fluffy. You can then cut them in half if you like, ready for garnishing. -
Serve and Enjoy
Serve the popovers warm, garnished with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, fresh fruits, or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy this delightful breakfast treat straight from the oven or allow them to cool slightly before serving.
These easy popovers are not only a delightful breakfast option but also an engaging activity for kids, encouraging them to help in the kitchen. The simplicity of the ingredients and the quick preparation make this recipe a go-to for busy mornings or special occasions.
