Popovers Made With Fresh Milled Flour (In a Muffin Tin)
These Popovers made with fresh milled flour are such a fun recipe to make! I make mine in a muffin tin, and what a delight to see them rise and pop up over the top! This is a great recipe to serve as a quick side dish, and full of protein!
Ingredients
- 3 TBSP melted butter 43g You will add about 1/2 TBSP in each preheated muffin well
- 1 cup fresh milled flour 120g I recommend soft white wheat for these
- 3/4 cup whole milk 180g
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Firstly, mill the flour. I recommend using soft white wheat for this recipe.
- Preheat oven to 450*F with your empty muffin pan inside (on top of a baking sheet to catch any spillage). I recommend a stainless steel muffin pan. A very hot pan is what makes this recipe work!
- Combine eggs, milk, salt, and fresh milled flour into a blender, and then blend until smooth and frothy. (You can make this without a blender, and heavily whisk the batter in a bowl instead.)
- Allow the batter to sit for about 5-10 minutes as the oven preheats.
- Once the pan and oven are preheated, then add about 1/2 TBSP of butter into each of the 6 muffin wells, place the pan back in the preheated oven for the butter to melt.
- Once the butter has melted, pour your batter evenly into each buttered well. Fill each one up about 3/4 of the way, not full, they will puff up! You may not use all of your batter, it depends on the size of your eggs.
- Bake the FMF Popovers at 450*F for 18-20 minutes, then without opening the oven, reduce the heat to 350*F, and bake for 10 more minutes. (It is important to leave the oven closed during baking.)
- Once done and browned on top, remove them from the oven and serve. They will deflate pretty quickly as they cool.

Notes
Can I Store Them? While I recommend serving these fresh milled flour popovers immediately, while still warm. This will ensure the best texture and flavor. But, if you happen to have some leftover, you can store them at room temperature for a couple day. To do this, let them cool completely. Then place them in a paper bag or wrap loosely in a clean kitchen towel. This helps prevent sogginess by allowing steam to escape.
Alternatively, you could freeze them Let cool completely. To do this, wrap individually in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. But again, best results are to serve right away while hot and fresh.
