Instructions

1. 1 Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Generously grease the bottom, sides, and area between the cups of a standard muffin tin with butter.
2. 2 Place the eggs in a bowl of hot water to cover for 10 minutes. In a microwave-safe cup, heat the cold milk for 30 seconds, or until it feels warm to the touch. (Alternatively, warm the milk in a saucepan on top of the stove.)
3. 3 Break the eggs into a blender. Add the milk, flour, sugar, and salt and blend for 30 seconds or until smooth and frothy. Add the melted butter and blend to combine. Alternatively, you can whisk the ingredients together in a large bowl.
4. 4 Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling each muffin cup slightly more than half full. Bake on the lower oven rack, without opening the door, for 20 minutes. It’s important not to peek into the oven during the baking process. You need the steam in the oven for the popovers to rise. Turn the oven down to 350°F and bake for 8 minutes longer. Now you can peek! Open the oven and check to see if the popovers are brown enough. If they aren’t, bake until they are puffed and deep golden brown, another 5 minutes.
5. 5 Popovers are best served warm from the oven. Serve them with dinner as you would a roll or enjoy them for breakfast with butter and jam. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
