Muffin Pan Popovers
Popovers are a classic breakfast treat that are known for their light and airy texture, crispy exterior, and delicious taste. While they are traditionally baked in a popover pan, it is possible to achieve the same result using a muffin pan.
Ingredients
- 4 small eggs , room temperature
- 1 ¼ cup (300ml) whole milk , room temperature
- 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
- 1 tbsp (15g) sugar
- 1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup (160g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter , melted
- 2 tbsp (30g) butter , divided in 12
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F (220C). Place a 12 cavity muffin pan onto a lower shelf of the oven.
- In a medium bowl whisk the eggs with sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Incorporate flour and add milk. Add melted butter and pour the mixture into a jug for easier pouring.
- Remove pan from the oven. Divide 2 tablespoons of butter in 12 pieces and add a piece into each cup.
- Return to the oven for 1 minute until butter is melted.
- Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan, about ½ to ¾ full.
- Bake the popovers for 20 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350°F (180C). Bake for another 10 or 15 minutes until the popovers are deep golden brown.
- Serve immediately with butter and jam or simply as a side dish alongside your favorite dishes.
