Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Generously brush a 12-cup popover pan with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter with olive oil. Place the prepared pan in the preheating oven. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of melted butter with olive oil, flour, milk, eggs, chives, dill, and salt until smooth and well combined. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Carefully remove the hot popover pan from the oven. Quickly pour the batter into the preheated cups, filling each about half full. (3 minutes)

04

Step
25 mins

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 25 minutes. It's crucial not to open the oven door during baking to ensure the popovers rise properly. (25 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Once golden brown and puffed, remove the popovers from the oven. Use a sharp knife or skewer to poke a small hole in the top of each popover to release steam and prevent them from becoming soggy. (2 minutes)

06

Step
1 mins

Serve immediately while warm. Brush the tops with melted butter with canola oil for an extra touch of richness and flavor.

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing the batter. This promotes better emulsification and a lighter texture.
The key to achieving tall, airy popovers is a very hot oven and a preheated pan. Do not skip this step!
Experiment with different fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary to create your own unique flavor profile.
If you don't have a popover pan, you can use a muffin tin, but the popovers may not rise as tall.
Popovers are best served immediately after baking. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a slightly warm oven with the door ajar.
