Today’s post is sponsored by Maille. Opinions are my own and I appreciate your support of the brands and companies that support What Should I Make For…

The holidays are here and that means family and friends will gather around the table to share special meals and recipes like these honey mustard popovers.

Popovers, all puffed and golden, are the perfect accompaniment to roasted turkey or ham, delicious paired with a hot bowl of soup, or served with eggs and bacon for a special holiday breakfast.

The ingredients for honey mustard popovers are gathered on a table.

Just a spoonful of Maille Honey Dijon mixed into the batter elevates the basic popover and gives it a little zing. And be sure to whip up your own honey mustard butter (recipe is included in the notes) to slather on the popovers when they’re fresh out of the oven. A smear of this butter on the warm popovers makes these over-the-top delicious.

And while these showstopper popovers may look complicated, don’t be fooled. They can actually be mixed up in minutes! Leftovers can be stored at room temperature and rewarmed in the oven or even for a few seconds in the microwave.

So if you’re looking for a way to make your holidays even more special with minimal effort, be sure to give these honey mustard popovers a go! Your family will thank you!

Let’s make honey mustard popovers

Step by step photos showing how to make Honey Mustard Popovers. Brush the popover tin with butter (1), whisk the milk and eggs (2), Whisk in the flour (3), whisk in the melted butter (4), fill the popover cups (5), bake until puffed and golden (6).
  1. Brush the cups of a popover pan with melted butter.
  2. Using a whisk or an immersion blender, blend the eggs, milk, mustard and salt until well mixed and frothy.
  3. Whisk in the flour.
  4. Whisk in the melted butter. Be sure the batter is smooth and without any lumps.
  5. Fill the prepared cups with the batter.
  6. Bake until puffed and golden, pierce the sides with the tip of a knife to release some steam.

Tips for success

  • Be sure to use room temperature eggs and milk to create the best emulsion. Eggs can be placed in warm water and the milk gently warmed in the microwave to speed up the warming process.
  • A whisk, immersion blender, or blender can be used to mix the batter for the best results. 
  • Be sure there aren’t any lumps in the batter and it is smooth before pouring into the prepared popover pan.
  • I use a large liquid measuring cup to make pouring the batter into the popover pan clean and easy.
  • A popover pan will yield the best results, but a muffin pan can also be used. Your popovers will be smaller and not as high and you will get 10-12 smaller popovers instead of 6 large ones. Adjust the cooking time down about 10 mins (15 at 450 F and 10-15 at 350 F) and check to be sure they’re fully baked.
  • Don’t open the oven until the popovers are almost fully baked so they don’t deflate during the rising process.
  • Remove the popovers immediately from the pan and pierce the sides with the tip of a knife to release the steam, keeping the inside moist and airy and the exterior crisp.

Ingredients
  • 4 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 Tbsp Maille Honey Dijon
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups AP flour
  • 4 Tbsp butter, melted and cooled slightly, divided
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and brush 1 Tbsp melted butter on the bottom and sides of the popover cups (using a six-cup popover pan or large muffin pan).

  2. Using a whisk or an immersion blender, blend the eggs, milk, mustard and salt until well mixed and frothy.

  3. Add the flour and continue to mix, then add 3 Tbsp slightly cooled, melted butter and blend well. Be sure there aren't any lumps and the consistency of the batter is like smooth, heavy cream.

  4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared popover cups and bake for 20 mins.

  5. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to bake for 15 additional mins. Immediately remove the popovers from the pan and pierce the sides with the tip of a paring knife to release the steam.
