Best Popover Recipe

This easy recipe is surely the best popover recipe available. Not only is it simple to make, but it results in old-fashioned popovers, the kind with a crusty outside and rich, creamy interior. The secret: start with a cold oven. That's it.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Course Breakfast, Side Dish
Servings 12 popovers

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • To make these popovers, start with a cold oven. Butter a muffin tin and then spray it with baking spray (trust me, you need both).
  • Melt the butter. Whisk in the eggs, then the milk, flour and salt. Mix thoroughly.
  • Pour the batter into the buttered and sprayed muffin tins, filling them halfway.
  • Slide the pan into the cold oven. Turn the temperature to 450 and bake for 15 minutes (the oven will heat very gradually; that's exactly what you want).
  • After 15 minutes, turn the temperature of the oven to 350 and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool, then remove from the pan/
