Biggest Fattest Fluffiest Popovers
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients: 4 large eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions:
-Warm the eggs by placing them UN-CRACKED in a medium bowl and cover with hot water (as hot as your tap will go). Let them sit for 10 minutes.
-Preheat the oven to 450°F and move the oven rack to a low position (to prepare for huge popovers!). Grease the popover pan thoroughly inside each cup as well as around the top edges.
-With your whisk, beat together the eggs, milk and salt until they are combined. The yolks should be completely blended in.
-Add the flour and whisk until the mixture is frothy and all large lumps are gone. Then quickly stir in the melted butter.
-Divide the batter between the prepared popover cups. They should be about 3/4 of the way full.
-Bake the popovers for 20 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350°F. Bake for another 10 or 15 minutes. The popovers will be very golden brown.
*Do not top off the cups! ONE POUR to 3/4 full. Topping off can prevent a full rise.
- If you can help it DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN!
Serve immediately and enjoy them warm!

Not showing the inside is such a goddamn tease 🤤
What was I thinking. They look like spongy, dough bread, eggy brains on the inside. Next time I'll post a picture after slicing into one.
Thank you for this recipe! Just tried it out with one substitution - white whole-wheat instead of AP four. Not a great idea... I will have to try again sometime.
This is one of those super sensitive recipes. Even heavy footsteps can stop them from rising. If you find a flour alternative let me know.
That sounds REALLY good...
Usually, my go to is butter or fruit jam, honestly the whip cream sound better. My daughter adds maple syrup.
Those look yummy. What do they taste like? Brioche? Biscuits? Rolls?
They look like Yorkshire Puddings so I would guess they taste pretty similar. They are savoury and don't taste of too much by themselves (but are fantastic smothered in gravy)
Yeah, American Yorkshire Puddings. I think they eat them with jam, but then they eat scones with gravy so
Just add High Fructose Corn Syrup ©®™
That’s what I thought. Never heard of a “popover” before; spent a few minutes staring at a picture of some lovely Yorkshire puddings wondering wtf was going on.
That's the first thing I thought off. No idea what the bloody hell a "pop over" is.
They're a blank canvas you can do whatever with, they're basically pancake batter cooked at high temperature in a cupcake tray.
By themselves they have a slight savoury flavour but you can do whatever with.
In the UK they're called Yorkshire Puddings where they're common eaten with roast beef/pork/chicken/etc with gravy and various vegetables and mashed potato.
Definitely a fantastic addition to a meal.
Mashed? Mashed?! You monster.
And potato in your favourite form* haha
Oh I havent had a popover in over 30+ years! They look amazing!
