Popovers
Cost $2.03 Recipe/ $0.17 ServingLight, fluffy, and extremely versatile, there's nothing quite like a fresh popover straight from the oven. I like to bake up a batch and eat them for breakfast, as a savory snack, or alongside a soup or stew for dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour (240g, $0.35)
- 2 cups whole milk (16 oz., room temperature, $0.59)
- 4 large eggs (room temperature, $0.91)
- ½ tsp salt ($0.04)
- 1 Tbsp butter (melted, $0.12)
- nonstick cooking spray ($0.02)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients and preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, and salt until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour, whisking until the batter is lump-free. Then add melted butter and mix until smooth. Let it rest at room temperature for 5–10 minutes. Meanwhile, place a muffin tin into the preheated oven for 3 minutes to heat up.
- Remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and spray each cup thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray. Carefully fill each cup about ¾ full with batter.
- Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes. Do not open the oven during this time, the steam is what makes the popovers rise. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 15–18 minutes, or until the popovers are golden, puffed, and set.
- Serve immediately while warm to prevent them from collapsing. Top with butter, honey, or jam if desired.
