Enjoy these golden and fluffy popovers, perfect for breakfast or as a side dish.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
A properly preheated oven ensures the popovers rise beautifully.
Grease each cup of a 6-cup popover pan with a bit of butter.
Use a brush for even application of butter.
Pour a small amount of melted butter into each cup.
This helps prevent sticking and adds flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Whisking thoroughly incorporates air for fluffier popovers.
In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, and nutmeg. Gradually whisk in the egg mixture until smooth.
Mixing gradually prevents lumps in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cups.
Fill each cup about halfway for the best rise.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 325°F (163°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Avoid opening the oven door during baking to maintain consistent heat.
Remove the popovers from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents sogginess.
Serve warm with your choice of butter, jam, or as a side to your meal.
Popovers are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
