Popovers with Strawberry Butter
I’m what you’d call a bread addict. Whether we’re talking about a warm, chewy bagel or a loaf of dark pumpernickel, I don’t discriminate. Though they contain no yeast, popovers fall into this category and they’re at the top of my list. For those of you that haven’t bitten into what’s essentially a piece of fluffy air, you’re really missing out. I found the recipe on Orangette (adapted from The Bread Bible), and I must say, I was pretty impressed that they not only rose, but were light and flavorful. To really bring it home, I whipped up some strawberry butter (by beating together 1/2 cup of butter with 1/2 cup strawberry preserves) and it was the perfect touch for an indulgent breakfast.

Goodness, those look delicious! The strawberry butter sounds like the perfect accompaniment – I must try making some.
Hmmmm this seems so YUMMY!
Have you ever had a Yorkshire pudding? They look just like that, but are made from savoury batter and are typically eaten with a roast dinner.
These take it to another level though, and I think I need to give ‘em a try.
Yum! that looks delicious i will have to try them

I agree with Helena! I’m British and we do indeed eat things that look like that on a sunday with a savoury roast

If you are in the mood for this exact same thing but aren’t in the mood to bak you should check out the Neiman Marcus cafe. They serve
this exact thing as their “bread”.
I am a bread addict as well and these sound and look delicious! xoxo

I’ve never heard of popovers, don’t think we have them in the Netherlands. But by the looks of it I’m really missing out!
Man, those look good!
I’ve made popovers,too, and was so surprised how easy they were. Your looks divine, and the strawberry butter is the perfect touch!
i just love saying it: popover. and i love that you made strawberry butter instead of just slapping some jam on it. great idea!
I just started reading your blog after you were featured in Lucky, and I absolutely love it! Your fashion, decorating, and recipes are all charming and inspiring! I’ve gotten so many great ideas (including these popovers..yum)! Thanks for such a fun blog!
Um that looks like the most delicious thing ever. Mail me some?
Yum! That strawberry butter looks delicious! As do the breads. I may have to give that recipe a go some time!
Strawberry butter sounds yum! I’ll have to try that sometime!

I am obsessed with popovers and have been meaning to get a pan to make them.
There’s a little family owned restaurant that brings out this basket of pastries with dinner and lunch, and they include popovers and strawberry butter. To die for!
Sounds absolutely delicious. I have been on this little baking kick lately, so I think I’ll try these. Thanks for the idea.
they work really well with melted apricot jam and a tad bit of honey brushed on top, too. sort of tangy, yet earthy from the honey. wowza, talk about divine. also a great glaze for palmiers, which i do by taking two boxes of puff pastry dough and placing them atop on another, then rolling the edges in, meeting in the middle. wrap it up, freeze it, then slice, glaze and bake. so simple yet so impressive.
oh my. please feed me.
that sounds creepy.
i just want to eat that. aaaand, everything you make.
that sounds creepy too.
who knew popovers could turn me into such a creepster? geez. i’ll stop now.
Oh my those looks absolutely amazing. I guess I know what recipe I’m trying this weekend! Those are perfect for Sunday breakfast with tea.
those look scrumptious, especially with the strawberry butter. funny, I’ve been in a popover mood too and just posted a couple of recipes on my blog.
thanks for sharing!
you make the most amazing food babe! wow!
haaa! my roommate is obsessed with making popovers…i had to forward her this link. i have to say, i have yet to try them, but with that strawberry butter i don’t think i can hold out much longer. great recipe for a cold tuesday! xoxo, val
my roomate made the same thing (but with the neiman marcus recipe) a few months ago and they were SO good! I have pics of them here http://www.heatherinacandyshop.com/2009/10/fleet-week-fete.html
YUM!!!!
Great idea! My husband always makes me popovers and this would be a great addiction to our Sunday morning breakfasts.
I’ll have 50 of these…thanks.
Those popovers look amazing and I love that you took the time to make strawberry butter. There’s something so satisfying about putting the extra effort into a meal…it’s almost like the cardio before the feast!!
Amazing! These totally bring me back to my favorite brunch place in NYC, Popover Cafe! They serve this exactly like this!
I love popovers! My mom makes them and they’re delish:)

Yummy! Your food posts always make me hungry! I’m definitely trying out that strawberry butter idea immediately.
heavenly…they look heavenly
And strawberry butter, brilliant! my husband and I are housesitting some kiddos this week and I’ll think they’ll love this for their after-school snack tomorrow!
That strawberry butter is such a brilliant idea!

I recently made popovers to pair with butternut squash soup, so I wanted to make them less of a breakfast food and more of a dinner food. Right before I took them out of the over, I sprinkled aged asiago cheese on them. It melted and made a crispy, cheesy top layer but didn’t affect the delicate puffiness of the popover.
OMGEEEE Those look delish. If you ever need a full-time taste-tester, contact immediately.
i’m literally dying at the words “strawberry butter”
Strawberry butter…I have never heard of something so divine. I want!!
They look absolutely amazing – I am now so incredibly hungry!
Love your blog

Popovers are the best! I grew up with my mom making them about once a week–a little bit of butter and raspberry preserves, yum!
I do LOVE popovers! Neiman Marcus always has such yummy ones at their Mariposa restaurant in Hawaii!!
Had to double-comment on this one. Was so inspired I came home and made my first ever Popover & Raspberry Peach Champagne Butter. They taste pretty darn delicious!

have you ever thought of investing in a popover tray?? they guarantee domed tops and perfect popovers everytime! martha suggested them and i have been so thankful.
if you can’t find one, she suggests you only use the outside cups of the tray, again, to get perfect dome shapes.
delicious post!
Popovers have been in my family for years. Always what we had when we did brunch but the purist in me loves them only with butter and honey. Next time – try it just with the honey and butter but sometimes I will eat them with a homemade jam as well! I love how much more popular popovers have been getting! I’ve also heard to make them in china teacups if you don’t have a popover pan to get them perfect. Last I heard, Target has popover pans ( in response to Andy’s comment)
i just made a batch of 6! soooo yummmy!

Those look absolutely amazing! I will definitely try those out the next time I have access to a kitchen, which sadly won’t be until a few months from now when I visit my family. I’ve never heard of strawberry butter before, but it sounds perfect
This is a childhood favorite, my mom would take me to the Zodiac at Neiman Marcus. YUM. what a treat!
Looks tasty I would definitely try one myself
I can’t wait to taste these, I’m making them for Christmas Eve Brunch as we speak!
And the strawberry butter sounds like a perfect addition to this family favorite
These look AMAZING! I can’t wait to try & make them…the last time I remember eating popovers was at Neimans!
If you think those are good check out a website called 101 cookbooks the images of some of the food on that website is to die for.
I have never had popovers but this looks GOOD!:) I am gonna have to make some…!
