Coconut Free Herb Popovers
Popovers are one of those magical baked goods that feel far more impressive than the effort required — hollow, golden, and dramatically puffed straight from the oven. These are loaded with fresh chives, thyme, and rosemary, so every bite carries that savory, herby punch that makes them impossible to stop eating. The ingredient list is refreshingly simple: whole milk, eggs, flour, butter, and a handful of fresh herbs. No specialty products, no hidden additives, and absolutely nothing derived from coconut — just pantry staples you likely already have on hand. The technique is the real star here: warming the milk, resting the batter, and preheating the pan are the small steps that guarantee that dramatic rise and crisp, hollow shell. Piercing each popover right out of the oven locks in that airy structure so they stay tall and proud on the plate. Serve them straight away alongside a roast, a bowl of soup, or honestly just on their own — they disappear fast.

6 servings
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
Instructions
- 1
Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts until it reaches about 100°F (38°C) — warm to the touch but not hot. This helps the batter come together smoothly and supports the rise.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth, then whisk in the warm milk and melted butter until fully combined.
