I'm very excited to show you this new, and possibly slightly improved, popover recipe. While we may have tweaked the ingredient amounts a little bit, we are still going to be using our foolproof, cold-oven method for making these. The reason this technique is so fun to use, is that it's literally the opposite of everything every popover expert says you should do.

1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 cups whole milk, at room temperature

PERFECT POPOVERS

By adding cheese (such as Parmesan), sugar, or spices to the batter, popovers can be suited to any occasion. For ease of use, a popover pan with a nonstick coating is the ideal baking vessel for popovers, but you can also use six-ounce custard dishes or a muffin tin.This recipe was featured on Martha Stewart Living TV.

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing tin
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a popover tin.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pour over flour mixture, and fold until just blended.
  • Fill the popover cups two-thirds to three-quarters full.
  • Transfer tin to oven, and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until well browned and crusty, about 20 minutes. Remove popovers from the oven, and unmold onto a rack. Puncture the sides with a sharp knife to let steam escape, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a tall muffin pan for best results.
  • For a golden crust, brush the popovers with melted butter before baking.
  • For a crispy crust, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking.
  • Serve popovers immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey.
  • Leftover popovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
