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.
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
- Brush the cups of a popover pan with melted butter.
- Using a whisk or an immersion blender, blend the eggs, milk, mustard and salt until well mixed and frothy.
- Whisk in the flour.
- Whisk in the melted butter. Be sure the batter is smooth and without any lumps.
- Fill the prepared cups with the batter.
- 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.
