Description

The perfect breakfast!

Ingredients

  • 6 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey, Warmed And Separated
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Flour

Preparation

Preheat oven 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of honey (you can heat them together). Put eggs in a blender and mix for several seconds until light. Then add the melted butter and honey, the milk, sugar, salt, and flour and blend for several seconds until combined.

Use another 2 tablespoons of butter (more if needed) to generously coat a 12-muffin pan. Fill the cups 3/4th of the way full.

Cook for 20-30 minutes until puffed and deep golden brown on the top, rotating the pan if needed.

While the popovers bake, combine the last 2 tablespoons of butter with the remaining 2 tablespoons of warm honey. You can drizzle the honey butter on top of the warm popovers, or serve on the side and dip them in the honey butter.

So delicious that you’ll want them for breakfast every morning!

Forget breakfast, I made these for dessert. I don’t know if whole milk makes a difference or not, we only have skim milk. I’ve never heard of or tried a popover before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Unfortunately my timer didn’t “start” (might have been because I set it but didn’t push start haha) But this actually is a healthier alternative to cookies, by a bit. So I’ll try making these again since they were pretty easy to make and turned out pretty good too.

These were awesome! incredible flavor. I don’t usually cook with any salt but I was afraid if I left it out something wouldn’t rise/work correctly so I used 1/2 tsp salt and they still came out beautifully.

Thanks so much for the recipe and mouth-watering picture (which was responsible for my trying it)

These were tasty, but they did sink down once they were out of the oven for a bit. also, were a little bit denser than i would of liked. i have a popover pan and used that instead of the muffin tin.

Oh Yum! Just made these- so simple to make and quick. Great if you are in the mood for a little something sweet. I used 2% milk because thats all we had- they puffed up and then fell after I took them out but still were delicious. I was nervous at first because the batter was super liquidy but they turned out nice and light and fluffy (even though they fell a bit).

Super easy, super yummy! For a less sweet version replace the honey with butter. These will be a favorite here!

We loved this! It was our first attempt at making popovers and my son ate 5 before they completely cooled! We have made them 4 times since then. Thanks for an easy and delicious recipe!

I’ve made popovers before ~ but overall these were the easiest & I’d say the most flavorful yet! I do like them better in the jumbo silicone muffin cups ~ they seem to fill with more air, which I like ~ but if you like a “doughier” taste, go with the regular muffin tins & fill them almost full. And I do say, the honey-butter on top is YUMMY!
