How to Make Lemon Scented Popovers

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Generously grease a 6-cup muffin tin with melted butter. Place the tin in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to heat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
  4. Gradually whisk in the flour and salt until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Quickly divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes at 450°F (232°C).
  7. Use a sharp knife to carefully poke a small hole in the top of each popover to release steam. This prevents them from deflating.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (191°C) and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and crisp.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly in the muffin tin before serving. Enjoy!
