  Use a popover pan or custard cups instead of a muffin pan, poke them with a knife after baking to dry them out, start with a cold oven, heat up the pan before pouring in the batter. In order to get to the bottom of this popover conundrum, the Heavy Table called on Heather Asbury (front of house manager) and Toni Luschen (pastry chef) from Lucia’s Restaurant in Minneapolis. Lucia’s to-go side has been selling popovers since its opening in 2005, and they’re a popular item on their weekend brunch menu. They go through about 150 every weekend, and sell around 20 per day during the week.

  The most important tip during baking is to never, under any circumstances, open the oven door. There will be temptation, as they pop right away and turn golden brown midway through cooking. However, opening the oven door will release the heat needed to create the structured, rigid exterior that maintains their puffy shape. So, removing them too early will give you an unstable exterior that is likely to deflate.
