Perfect Popovers

Recipe by Tieghan Gerard on InstagramAdded 13 November 2026.
  • 30 min
  • Serves 6
  • 6 ingredients

10 minutes to prep, 20 to cook. These light, airy popovers are made from a simple blended batter of eggs, milk, flour, butter, and a touch of sea salt. Baked at a high temperature they puff up dramatically, creating a buttery, slightly sweet bite perfect for holiday breakfasts or anytime snack. Serve them with melted butter, honey, and a sprinkle of sea salt for extra indulgence.
