Popovers with Whipped Strawberry Butter

Popovers are a great light substitute to heavy breakfast breads like bagels and muffins. The egg-based pastry is light and fluffy in texture and buttery in taste. They are best served warm from the oven and topped with fruity condiments like this whipped strawberry butter. You can substitute any type of fruit, such as orange slices or fresh raspberries, to make your favorite flavored spread.

  1. These were delicious! I halved the recipe since there’s just two of us and made it in a muffin pan, filling each about half full, maybe a little less. I got 9 mini popovers. There was no mess, and they turned out beautiful! We had some with butter and jam and some with nutella. Yum! Thanks for this recipe :)

    1. Hi Ottie! I haven’t tried this recipe with a regular muffin pan, so I can’t say with certainty. If you do try it, you would definitely want to fill the cups less full, and make sure you put the muffin pan on a sheet tray in case there’s any spillover.
