Recipe monday

Before I moved to New York I had never heard of a Popover.
The first time I had them was in a cafe on the upper west side called.....popover.
They served them fresh out of the oven with strawberry butter.
I have made them many times since, its the perfect breakfast or brunch treat.
Super easy to make and so good.

Popovers with Strawberry Butter
It’s so much fun peek in the oven and watch these rise. (Remember to serve them hot!)

In a medium bowl, stir together flour, milk and salt.

The strawberry butter sounds delicious! And I love popovers, but it is also fun to use the same recipe in a 9x13 pan and make a gigantic volcano pancake! ;D

Yum! This is further proof I need a popover pan. The butter looks great too - I wonder how well it would freeze. It would be nice to make and save for when it's not strawberry season.

Lovely! I've never had sweet popovers, but this is the best argument I've seen yet to give it a try!

That is the way they serve them at the Mariposa at Neiman Marcus. When my daughter and I do girls day out we always go there for lunch just for the Popovers with strawberry butter. We are going next month for her 21st birthday

These looks so delicious! They remind of Yorkshire puddings that we make and eat during Christmas.

Wishing you a fab week!

I never heard about strawberry butter but I'm going to make it very soon as Kyle!Popover seems magic, I love this strange shape!

[Francine Gomez]

this is going to be a hit...my brothers love the mix of strawberry and peanut butter

I think I made my first popovers when I was about 10. Yours are reminding me of just how much I love them (with butter & jam, of course!)

[medical consultation]

it was my first time to hear that strawberry butter, I think I'm gonna love that, also the popover...

Since I'm from Sweden I've never heard of or tried these, but they look delicious. Can I use a regular muffin tin? I can't imagine I can buy a popover tin in Sweden...

Had lunch years ago at Popover's. Not only wonderful popovers, but fabulous chicken tortilla soup. I asked if they'd share the recipe and out came a very spattered card with just the list of ingredients. I have gotten it down pat and have enjoyed it ever since.

I'm going to serve this next to my home-made croissants!!

Nice touch to add the strawberry butter!
