Inspired by the blooming chives in my garden and hungry for something freshly baked but QUICK, I tweaked a basic popover recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cup milk
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoon butter, melted
- 10 ounce all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

WHAT: Our new go-to pastry for whenever the mood strikes.
HOW: Mix your ingredients in a bowl, spoon into muffin tins, and watch them puff in the oven.
WHY WE LOVE IT: We love how delicate -- and distinctly savory -- FamilyStyle Food's popovers are. You most likely have the ingredients hanging in your pantry right now -- what are you waiting for?
Directions
- Step 1
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly coat a 12-cup popover pan or muffin tin with melted butter or oil.
- Step 2
Whisk together the milk, eggs and butter in a large bowl until blended. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Step 3
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).
- Step 4
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.
- Step 5
Cool briefly in the pan before removing and serving. You can reheat cooled popovers in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes.
