Nutmeg Black Pepper Popovers

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated nutmeg
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2½ cups whole milk
  • 5 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, divided

Directions

  1. Whisk flour, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Whisk eggs and milk in a large bowl until well blended. Gently whisk in flour mixture, followed by 3 Tbsp. butter (do not overmix).

  2. Preheat oven to 425°. Grease 12 standard muffin cups with remaining 2 Tbsp. butter. Pour batter into prepared muffin tins, filling cups three-quarters full and dividing equally. Bake popovers until puffed, golden brown, and crispy around edges, 30-35 minutes. Using a thin knife or an offset spatula, remove popovers from pan. Serve immediately.

  3. Do Ahead: Batter can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
