Add the flour and whisk until the batter comes together. Batter should be thin and lumpy.
Place the batter in a pitcher with a lip and let the batter rest for at least one hour at room temperature.
Position rack in the lower third of the oven.
Preheat oven to 425° F.
Place a dab of butter (½ teaspoon) at the bottom of each cavity of your pan and preheat pans in the oven for about 2 minutes.(Place the popover pan on top of a baking sheet).
Remove pan from the oven and immediately spray the sides with a non-stick spray and quickly pour the batter to ¾ full.
Bake at 425° F for 15 minutes.
Lower heat to 350° F and continue to bake for at least another 15 minutes until golden brown and dry to the touch.
Once out of the oven, remove popovers from the pan immediately and poke a small hole in order for the steam to escape.
Serve immediately.
