Popover

To prepare the delicious popovers, we start with an essential step: warming the milk. It should be slightly warm, just enough to loosen it, but not so hot that it alters the ingredients. In a generous bowl, we beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, being careful to achieve a smooth texture. Once the eggs are well mixed, we add the warm milk and gradually start incorporating the flour. It is important to mix constantly to avoid lumps. The final result will be a more liquid composition than that for pancakes, but with a density that promises to puff up beautifully during baking.

Next, we turn our attention to the special popover pan, which we will preheat in the oven. This will help achieve that airy and fluffy texture we desire. If you do not have a popover pan, a cupcake pan will work just as well. In each cup, we add a small piece of butter, which will melt and provide a delicious taste. Then, we fill each cup with the batter halfway, being careful not to overfill them, as the popovers will rise significantly during baking.

After filling the pans, we place the tray in the preheated oven at 420°F (approximately 220°C). It is essential not to open the oven door in the first 20 minutes of baking, to allow the popovers to puff up evenly. During this time, the delicious aroma will start to fill the kitchen, anticipating a moment of culinary indulgence. After 40 minutes, the popovers should be perfectly golden brown, with a beautiful and crispy crust on the outside, while the inside is fluffy and airy.

Once we take them out of the oven, it is recommended to serve them immediately, warm, alongside butter or your favorite jams. This simple and quick recipe is perfect for a special breakfast, a snack, or even an accompaniment for festive meals. Enjoy every bite of these fluffy popovers and you will have an unforgettable culinary experience!
