- 1 1/2 tbs unsalted butter, melted + some softened butter for greasing pans

- 3/4 tsp kosher salt or grey salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Generously grease popover pan (or custard cups, muffin pan) with softened butter. Enough for 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for 2 min to preheat.

Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, thyme, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans LESS than half full and bake for exactly 30min. Do not peek. Serve hot!
