Thyme Popovers

Pin It

I rarely bake, but this recipe of Ina Garten's is so easy that even I like to make them! My older son loves filling them with butter and eggs. He loves that burst of  butter at the end of a bite. The beauty of them is that you can fill them with just about anything.

Ingredients

Softened butter for greasing pans, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups whole milk, at room temperature

Directions

 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Generously grease aluminum popover pans or custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, thyme, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek.

Serve hot.
