Neiman Marcus Popover Recipe Light And Airy
Learn the Neiman Marcus Popover Recipe with expert tips for tall rise, crisp texture, and classic flavor — easy enough for any home kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tablespoon melted butter plus extra for greasing
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat The Oven
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place an empty popover tin or popover cups inside while the oven heats. A hot pan helps the batter puff fast.
Step 2: Mix The Batter
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and milk until smooth. I like using a hand mixer for about 30 seconds to add air.
Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
- Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix just until the batter looks smooth and thin. The texture should resemble heavy cream.
Step 4: Rest The Batter
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This short rest helps flour absorb liquid and improves rise.
Step 5: Prepare The Pan
- Carefully remove the hot popover tin from the oven. Brush each cup with melted butter.
Step 6: Fill The Cups
- Pour batter into each popover cup, filling halfway. Do not overfill or the popovers won’t lift properly.
Step 7: Bake
- Place the pan back into the oven.
- Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) without opening the oven door.
- Bake another 15 minutes until tall and brown.
Step 8: Release Steam
- Remove popovers and poke a small hole in the side to release steam. This keeps the outside crisp.
