Perfect Popovers with Honey Butter
Perfect Popovers with Honey Butter
Makes 10 standard Popovers
Ingredients
4 large eggs, room temp.
1 1/2 cups whole milk, warm (120 degrees F)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
3 tablespoons melted butter, cooled slightly
Ingredients for Whipped Honey Butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter (4 ounces), room temp.
1 ounce high-quality honey
½ teaspoon flake salt
** Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix with an electric mixer until well whipped and fluffy.
Directions
Place all your ingredients on the counter and let everything come to room temperature. If your kitchen is cold, place your eggs in warm water for 15 minutes. This is important! Everything must be room temperature. Melt your butter and allow to rest.
Blend eggs, milk, and salt in a blender until frothy. Add flour and melted butter and blend again for one minute.
Let batter rest while the oven preheats to 450 Degrees F.
Preheat your popover pan in the hot oven for 5 minutes, then coat with nonstick spray or butter and carefully pour the batter into the pan, almost to the top.
Bake at 450°F for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for another 10 minutes. Do not open the oven! The popovers should be tall and golden brown.
Remove from oven and pierce the top with a pairing knife to immediately release steam. Serve with whipped honey butter and flake salt immediately.
