Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of melted butter in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan or a popover tin and put it in oven while you make batter.
Step 2
Beat together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon butter, sugar and salt. Beat in the flour a little bit at a time and add thyme if using; mixture should be smooth.
Step 3
Carefully remove muffin tin from oven and fill each cup about halfway. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 15 minutes more, or until popovers are puffed and browned. Do not check popovers until they have baked for a total of 30 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and serve hot.
Popovers are a delightful treat that can elevate any meal. These light and airy pastries are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish for dinner. Unlike regular muffins, popovers rely on the steam created in the oven to achieve their signature puffiness. The batter is simple, requiring only a few ingredients such as eggs, milk, and flour. For a little twist, consider adding your favorite herbs or even cheese to the mix. The key is to start with a hot oven to ensure they rise effectively. Serve them immediately for the best texture, as they tend to deflate quickly once out of the oven. Explore variations on this classic recipe to suit your taste preferences! Whether sweet or savory, popovers can be a versatile addition to your cooking repertoire. Experiment with flavors and enjoy these delightful puffs fresh out of the oven!
