Makes: 12
Ingredients
-
2
cups milk
-
4
eggs
-
4
tablespoons butter, melted
-
10
ounces all purpose flour
-
1/2
teaspoon fine sea salt
-
1/2
teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
-
1/4
cup Parmesan cheese
-
2
tablespoons chopped fresh chives
-
1
teaspoon grated fresh lemon zest
Directions
-
Heat oven to 450 degrees.
Lightly coat a 12-cup popover pan or muffin tin with melted butter or oil. - Whisk together the milk, eggs and butter in a large bowl until blended. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Place the empty pan in the oven to heat for 7 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and fill the cups evenly with the batter (this is less messy if you transfer batter to a 4 cup liquid measuring cup).
- Bake for 18 – 20 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue baking until the popovers are deep golden brown, 15 – 18 more minutes.
- Cool briefly in the pan before removing and serving. You can reheat cooled popovers in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes.
