Double-Butter Cheddar Popovers

These extra-buttery cheddar popovers bake up tall with crisp, golden edges and a soft, airy center. Made with Plugrà Premium European Style Butter and finished warm from the oven, they’re designed for tearing open and slathering with even more butter.

Ingredients

Popovers

1 ½ cups whole milk, warmed slightly in the microwave
4 large eggs, warmed in a cup of hot water for 10 minutes
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ tsp Kosher salt
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 tbsp melted Plugrà Premium European Style Butter
Steps
1
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2
Put the popover pan in the preheated oven and allow it to heat up while you make the batter.
3
With a whisk, combine the warmed milk and eggs, beating for 30 seconds, until frothy. Add the flour, salt, cheddar, and all but a tablespoon of the melted butter. Whisk another 30 to 60 seconds until combined with no large clumps.
4
Remove the popover pan from the hot oven and brush popover wells with melted butter. Fill the popover cups with batter, going about ¾ of the way up. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until puffed, golden and crisp. Do not open the oven door while baking until done!
5
Remove from the oven and remove from popovers from the pan. Place on wire rack to cool.
6
Serve immediately with salted Plugrà butter, honey or jam.
