EASY POPOVERS
Popovers are so simple to prepare and fantastic smothered with butter, jam, jelly, honey, etc. They are fabulous for breakfast but go great with any dinner, too. Popovers just make an excellent addition to any meal.
Ingredients for Easy Popovers:
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Salt
Eggs
Milk
Butter, melted
Recipe Notes: I preheat the oven to 460 and reduce it to 450 when I put in the popovers, as the oven loses heat when you open the door. If you don’t have a popover pan, you can use a regular muffin tin and just fill every other cup. This recipe works better if your milk and eggs are at room temperature. You can prick them with a knife or fork when you take them out of the oven to let the steam escape. This makes for a drier popover. You can also freeze these for up to 3 months and reheat them in the oven.

I didn’t have a popover pan. I did have a silicone mold pan to make ice cream cone shaped chocolate shells. It is heat safe to 500* it made lovely popovers. I also used my countertop convection oven. next time I will cut the heat down so the dont brown so fast
That was a great idea!!
Can you use a muffin tin to make these as I do not have a popover pan? Thank you for sharing all of your great recipes. 🙂
It says in the recipe how to use a regular muffin pan. Glad you are enjoying the recipes 🙂
Oh thank you SO much for posting this recipe. I used to make these when my kids were young (they’re now in their late 50s) and we all loved them. I seem to remember that after they were done I pricked them with a fork and put back in the oven for a few min (5?) to allow them to dry out a bit. Have you heard of this. I WILL be making these again SOON and I will eat all 6 of them myself 🙂
Yes, you can prick them if you want, Marty.
Yes, thanks so much for posting this recipe. Haven’t made them in years. Know what I am going to make for breakfast tomorrow. My sister and I were talking awhile ago about we used to make popovers and cream puffs frequently!!
