The first time I actually had a popover was when I lived in Minneapolis and had lunch at Dayton’s Department Store. It was hot and fresh out of the oven and such an unexpected treat with my bowl of soup. I was hooked. Since then, I’ve made my fluffy popovers with cinnamon honey butter and herb butter for my family and friends. The cinnamon honey butter for the kids and the her butter for the adults. Don’t get me wrong, plenty of the adults are digging into the sweet butter but I like to give choices. These are easy to make and you can use a muffin tin but I do own a popover pan that really makes them high and perfectly fluffy. For a knock out presentation, I serve these popovers in a napkin-lined basket. I put the butter in a piping bag with a star tip and make adorable little star shaped mounds of butter!
To get started, heat your over to 425 degrees and spray a 12-cup muffin tin or 2 6-muffin popover tins with cooking spray. Drizzle one tablespoon of butter into the sprayed cups. Heat in the oven for 5 minutes.
Mix the eggs, milk, salt, and one tablespoon of butter together in a bowl. Sift the cup of flour over the wet mixture and fold it together.
Take the heated pan out of the oven and pour the batter into the cups (about ¾ of the way full).
Bake 10 – 12 minutes then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake another 10 – 12 minutes until golden brown.
Pop them out of their pan and serve with either the cinnamon honey butter or herb butter. (Or, if you are like me, with both!)
HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON HONEY BUTTER
Whip the butter, cinnamon and honey in a small bowl. This is easier if the butter is at room temperature. Put into a small crock and refrigerate or if you are piping into shapes, put into your pastry bag and make stars. Pipe them on a plate and put in the fridge until first.
HOW TO MAKE HERB BUTTER
Chop up your herbs. You can use any mix of herbs you have on hand. Parsley, thyme, oregano and dill all work. Chop them fine.
Add them to a bowl with the room temperature butter and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. If you used salted butter, omit this extra salt. Using a hand mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Put in a crock and refrigerate until ready to serve.
