Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 popovers
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Make sure to place a popover pan or a muffin tin in the oven while it preheats to ensure it's hot when you pour in the batter.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Once the batter is well combined, carefully remove the hot popover pan from the oven. Add 1 tablespoon of melted butter to each cup of the pan, allowing it to sizzle and coat the bottom and sides.
- Immediately pour the batter into the prepared cups, filling each about halfway to allow room for the popovers to rise. Be cautious as the pan will be hot.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 30 minutes without opening the oven door. This is crucial for achieving a good rise in the popovers.
- After 30 minutes, check the popovers. They should be golden brown and puffed up. If they are not fully browned, you can bake them for an additional 5 minutes.
- Once done, remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm.
- For an extra touch, you can dust the popovers with powdered sugar or serve them with a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful treat.
Tips
- Preheat the Pan: Make sure to preheat your popover pan or muffin tin along with the oven. This helps create the steam needed for the popovers to rise beautifully.
- Whisk Well: When mixing your batter, whisk until it’s smooth and free of lumps. A well-blended batter is key to achieving that perfect airy texture.
- Don’t Open the Oven: Resist the urge to peek at your popovers while they bake! Opening the oven door can cause them to deflate, so keep it closed for the full 30 minutes.
- Fill Halfway: When pouring the batter into the hot pan, fill each cup only halfway. This allows enough space for the popovers to expand and rise without overflowing.
- Add Some Sweetness: For an extra special touch, consider dusting your popovers with powdered sugar or serving them with whipped cream. It adds a delightful finish that complements the pumpkin spice flavor perfectly.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy your popovers fresh out of the oven for the best texture and flavor. They’re best served warm, so have your guests ready to dig in!
