Popovers with Strawberry Butter
January 12th, 2010
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.
yum!!! i will have to try the strawberry butter next time!
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.
