Ingredients

Scale

Popovers

  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Speck of baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the popovers.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and a speck of baking soda, then set aside to maintain lightness.
  3. Beat Eggs: Using a mixer at high speed, beat the eggs for 2-3 minutes until they turn a lemon color, indicating they are well aerated.
  4. Add Milk (Part 1): On the slowest mixer speed, slowly pour in half a cup of milk, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: While the mixer is still on slow, gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the egg and milk mixture to prevent lumps.
  6. Scrape Bowl: Stop the mixer and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
  7. Add Milk (Part 2): Resume mixing at medium speed and slowly add the remaining half cup of milk, then beat for 2 minutes to combine thoroughly.
  8. Warm the Pan: Place a well-greased muffin tin or popover pan in the oven to warm for 5 minutes. This helps achieve the popover’s signature rise.
  9. Final Whip: Turn the mixer to high speed and beat the batter for 5-7 minutes until smooth and the consistency of heavy cream.
  10. Strain Batter: Pour the batter through a strainer into the preheated greased pans, which ensures a smooth texture by removing any lumps.
  11. Bake at High Temperature: Bake the popovers on the middle oven shelf at 425°F (218°C) for 15 minutes to create a strong initial rise.
  12. Reduce Oven Temperature: Without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  13. Serving: Remove from oven and serve immediately with butter and strawberry jam. Popovers can be kept warm in the oven for up to 5 minutes but are best fresh out of the oven.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature before beginning for best batter consistency.
  • Do not open the oven door during the first 30 minutes of baking to prevent the popovers from collapsing.
  • Use a well-greased pan and preheat it to help the popovers rise properly.
  • Popovers are best served immediately as they tend to lose their crispness quickly.
  • For a lighter texture, beating the batter at high speed for 5-7 minutes is critical.
