Dayton’s Popovers
Dayton's department store in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 1⅔ cups whole milk
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1⅔ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°. Lightly coat popover pans or deep muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray and preheat pans in oven for at least 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, use a mixer on medium-high speed to beat eggs until frothy. Add milk and butter, mix well. Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour and salt. Mix until just combined. Allow batter to rest for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Divide batter among preheated pans, filling each cup just under half full. After filling the cups, fill any that are empty halfway with water. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes without opening the oven door. The popovers will be puffy and golden brown.
- Remove from oven, transfer pans to a wire rack and cool 2 minutes. Popovers should pull away from the pan easily; if not, use a dull-bladed knife to nudge them from the pan. Serve warm.
