- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 1½ cups milk warmed to about 125 degrees F
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Prepare muffin tins by pouring about 1/2 teaspoon of melted butter into each cup, then set aside.
In a blender, add the room temperature eggs, milk, salt, and flour. Blend until smooth, then pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake the popovers in your preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute or two, then carefully slide out of the pans using a fork.
Serve immediately with butter, honey butter, jam, or your favorite gravy. Enjoy!
Storing and Reheating Instructions
- Refrigerator: store leftover popovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freezer: cooled popovers can be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bags for up to 2 months.
- To reheat: reheat leftover popovers in a 350-degree oven for about 5-10 minutes, or until warm and crisp. The time it takes will depend on whether they are coming straight from the fridge or the freezer.
