Popovers are a quick and easy bread recipe made with milk, flour, eggs, and vegetable oil. Light, fluffy, airy, and golden brown, load them with butter and serve them for breakfast or brunch.

If you haven't made this popover recipe for breakfast or brunch before, you are in for something special!

These delicious treats rise high in the oven and are meant to be eaten immediately

Have everyone sitting down at the table and waiting for them to come out of the oven. Please do try them. You won't be disappointed!

Breakfast and Brunch Serving Ideas:

Serve this bread hot from the oven with plenty of butter and crisp bacon or sausage on the side for a very enjoyable and decadent meal. Have coffee and orange juice on hand or try a fruit smoothie recipe.

Serve popovers with any of these fresh fruit recipes.

Recipe for Popovers

Print Friendly

Ingredient List:

1 cup flour
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

Kitchen Equipment Needed

Mixing bowl
Nonstick Pop Over Pan or Muffin Tin

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2: Mix all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl with a whisk.

Step 3: Divide batter and ladle equal portions into each muffin cup.

Step 4: Do not leave the batter sit! Bake immediately for best results. (I know this from experience!)

Step 5: Check for doneness in 30 minutes. Remove when smooth and golden brown. Do not overbake. Baking may take up to an hour.

Step 6: Once removed from the oven, remove and tilt them slightly to let the steam escape or they will sog out quickly.

Makes 6. You may need to make a double batch as these will disappear quickly! Figure at least 2 per person.

Prepare your fried bacon and any other dishes while they are baking so that everything is ready and the table is set when these come out of the oven.

A specialty pan isn't a complete necessity, but your pop overs will bake higher and be lighter in an proper pan than in a muffin tin. Read my review of my favorite popover pan.
