I got this popover recipe from a viewer Elizzaruth, who breaks from tradition and places the popovers in a cold oven and then bakes them at a high temperature for 30 minutes exactly. The popovers came out tall and fluffy, crispy on the outside, tender and delicious inside!

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • cooking spray
  • 2 large eggs large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese , Optional

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grease a 6-tin muffin pan with butter and cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Whisk eggs, milk, flour, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a medium bowl until smooth. Pour batter into each muffin tin, filling to about 3/4 of the way up the sides. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of grated Cheddar cheese atop each popover.

  3. 3

    Place pan in a cold oven. Heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and bake until puffed and well-browned, without peeking, about 30 minutes.
