Instructions

• ▢
  In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, and kosher salt. Whisk together and set aside.
• ▢
  In a large mixing bowl, whisk the room-temperature eggs until light and airy. Slowly add the room-temperature milk, mixing until frothy. Gradually add the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
• ▢
  Transfer the batter to a liquid measuring cup for easier pouring into the muffin pan. Let it rest at room temperature for 25-30 minutes while preheating the oven to 450°F, arranging the oven racks in the lower third.
• ▢
  Place the muffin pan on a sheet tray and heat it in the oven for 5-10 minutes. Carefully remove the tray, spray the muffin pan with non-stick spray, and fill the cavities with batter up to ⅔ full or slightly more.
• ▢
  Return the muffin pan to the oven and bake at 450°F for 15 minutes. Without opening the door, reduce the temperature to 400°F and bake for another 10 minutes. Then, reduce to 350°F and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until dark golden brown. Do not open the oven during the entire baking period.
• ▢
  After around 30 minutes of total baking time, open the oven door and carefully poke each popover with a wooden skewer to release some steam. Close the oven door and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes. The popovers should be dark golden brown and tall at this point.
• ▢
  Remove the popovers from the oven and let them sit in the pan for a minute or two to help them set. Then, remove them from the pan and serve immediately.
