How to Make Plain Popovers

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Place 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt on a piece of paper towel to remove any excess.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk and 2 large eggs gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few gentle lifts with a fork are all you need.
  4. Add the flour and salt mixture all at once to the wet ingredients.
  5. Using a fork, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. The batter should remain very lumpy.
  6. Generously spray an 8-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  7. Fill each muffin cup ¾ full with batter.
  8. Place the muffin tin in the COLD oven.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  10. If using a 12-cup muffin tin, reduce baking time as needed. Start checking for doneness around the 25-minute mark.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy exterior and soft interior.
