Popovers

These are a family favorite! So yummy!

3 tbsp melted unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
Butter and jam

Have a standard 6-cup or miniature 12-cup popover pan. Lightly grease the pan or dishes with 2 tbsp of the melted butter.

In a blender, mix together the eggs, milk, and the remaining 1 tbsp of melted butter until foamy. Mix in the flour and salt until smooth. Do not over-mix. The batter should be thin. Fill each prepared cup two-thirds full with the batter.

Place the pan on the center rack of a cold oven and immediately turn the temperature to 375 degrees. Bake the popovers until they are puffed high and deep golden brown. Bake 35-45 minutes for standard-sized popovers and about 25 for miniature popovers. Do not open the oven door for the first 30 minutes of baking, or the popovers may not rise fully.

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately pierce the side of each popover with the tip of a sharp knife to allow steam to escape. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with butter and jam. Enjoy!
