Ina Garten Popovers

Golden popovers look fancy but use easy ingredients. When you bake Ina Garten popovers, they puff up tall and turn crisp outside. Inside they stay soft and airy. Made with eggs, flour, milk, and butter, they’re tall hollow rolls with crisp edges and soft middles that taste a little eggy and rich. Just whisk the batter in one bowl, pour into a hot pan, and bake.
