Packed with fresh spring herbs and buttery Yorkshire pudding flavour, these irresistible popovers are perfect for serving (and impressing guests) at brunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped basil
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped chives
  • 2 tsp finely chopped tarragon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 eggs , at room temperature
  • 1 cup milk , at room temperature
  • 1 tbsp butter , melted

Instructions

  • PREHEAT oven to 450F. Measure 1/2 tsp oil into each cup of a muffin pan. Swirl muffin pan, then heat in oven for 5 min.
  • STIR flour together with herbs and salt in a large bowl.
  • WHISK eggs in a small bowl. Whisk in milk and butter. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and whisk just until combined. (It’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.)
  • REMOVE muffin pan from oven and immediately fill each cup with a scant 1/4 cup batter.
  • BAKE in centre of oven until popovers puff up and are dark golden, 18 to 20 min. Serve warm.

Kitchen tip: For best results, stick with regular vegetable oil. We tried the recipe using vegetable-oil spray instead, but we didn’t get the results we wanted.

Gluten-Free Popovers: For a gluten- free version, simply replace the all-purpose flour with the same amount of Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour. Sift flour into a large bowl before stirring in herbs and salt, and continue with recipe.
