US - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 F. Drizzle a teaspoon of melted butter in each popover tin and put in the oven while making the batter.
Beat together the eggs, milk, one tablespoon of melted butter, salt, and sugar. Gently add the flour and mix well. The texture should be smooth.
Slowly and carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and fill each cup halfway. Bake for 15 minutes at 425F, then reduce the heat to 350 F degrees and continue baking for another 15 minutes or more until popovers are puffed and browned. Please do not open the oven door to check the popover until they are baked for 30 minutes.
Remove from pan immediately and serve hot.

Pro Tips

The melted butter must be hot when the batter is poured into the popover pan, which must then be immediately put back into the oven once filled. This will allow the batter to crisp up at the bottom and rise beautifully.
Your oven temperature is essential: it should be hot when the popovers are placed inside and lowered once the baking process is underway. This step will achieve a beautiful golden crispy crust and pop over the tin.
Butter tends to splatter; you may want to place a cookie sheet over the oven rack to prevent a mess from being cleaned later.
They must be eaten as soon as they are out of the oven.
