Blueberry Popovers
These blueberry popovers are an easy twist on a classic popover recipe. Learn how to make this tasty treat and let warm blueberries burst into a puddle of melted butter while the kid inside you licks icing sugar from your fingers.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 4 large eggs room temperature before cracking
- 1 ½ cups whole milk lukewarm (about 125 degrees F)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons melted butter cooled slightly
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- icing sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Add flour to a large bowl.
- In a separate mixing bowl, use a wire whisk beat eggs, whole milk, and salt together. Add egg mixture to flour, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
- Finally, add in the melted butter and stir.
- Let the batter rest for 15 minutes to an hour. I’ve found this step to be crucial to getting a good rise on my popovers. It doesn’t take long, 15 minutes really does do the trick, but you do need to let everything rest while the oven preheats.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Set the popover pan (or muffin pan) in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Carefully take the hot pan out of the oven, setting it on oven mitts, and spray with cooking spray to grease.
- Divide batter to fill each popover cup ¾ full. (I usually get 8-9 mini popovers.) Place berries over the tops of each popover, dividing blueberries equally.
- Bake at 450 for 15 minutes.
- Lower oven to 350 degrees, without opening the door, and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes.
- When you take out of oven, pierce with a paring knife to let out steam and avoid collapse.
- Dust tops of popovers with icing sugar and serve with butter and blueberry jam, lemon curd or honey.
Notes
Remember: No peeking! Let those popovers have their secrets and only open once you are ready to remove from the oven.
Additional Notes:
- I make popovers using this Mini Popover Pan I got on Amazon.
- For regular-sized popovers, you will get 6. You'll want to bake at 450* for 20 minutes and 350 for 10.
- I say this serves 4 assuming you'll want to devour at least 2 of these for breakfast. If you are serving as part of a larger brunch, you'll get 8-10 mini popovers.
