Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup eggs, at room temperature, beaten
  • 1-1/2 cups milk, at room temperature
  • 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat a 12 piece muffin pan in a 450°F oven.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
  • In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt and make a well in the center.
  • Pour the egg and milk mixture into the well and whisk together just until the liquid is incorporated. small lumps are not a problem.
  • Let the batter stand for 10 minutes.
  • If available, pour the matter into a bowl or measuring cup with a spout; this makes it so much easier to pour the batter into the muffin tins.
  • Working as quickly as you can, so that the pan does not cool down, pour the butter into the hot muffin tins to cover the bottom.
  • Using a pastry brush, give it a quick brush up the sides of the muffin cups.
  • Then quickly pour the batter evenly into the muffin pans.
  • A ring of melted butter floating on the batter is normal and necessary at this point.
  • Quickly return the pan to the hot oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to 375°F and bake for an additional 15 - 20 minutes.
  • The puddings should be a deep golden brown.
  • It is very important not to open the oven door at any point in the baking time or you risk your popovers falling.
  • Remove from oven and let rest for only a couple of minutes before removing them from the pan. and serving.
