Blueberry Popovers

Menu card for breakfast popovers.

Whip up these tall, airy Blueberry Popovers with fresh blueberries for an easy breakfast treat using your blender to make the batter. This delicious and fun American version of the Yorkshire Pudding is even better filled with fresh blueberries.

What gives a popover the signature shape is the straight walled popover pan mold. Also, the melted butter and a really hot temperature help them to rise and 'pop-over' the top of the pan.

Ingredients You Will Need

  • All Purpose Flour: Popovers need a a good protein structure in order to hold their shape, not too light and not too heavy. For this recipe, good old all purpose flour does the trick!
  • Whole Milk: I prefer to use whole milk instead of skim here for better flavor and richness. You can substitute for almond milk if you prefer, but the final taste may be different.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: The perfect amount of sweetness for these popovers comes from the sweetened condensed milk. Again, no need for added sugar in this recipe.
  • Large Eggs: Eggs are essential for creating a perfect popover. The protein in the eggs allows the batter to expand and hold onto the steam. They also thicken as they bake to create the crusty outer wall of the popover.
  • Pure Vanilla Extract: A little vanilla goes a long way and tastes so good with all pastry, especially the ones with fresh fruit.
  • Blueberries: I prefer fresh blueberries, but feel free to use frozen. Allow the frozen berries to come to room temperature on a paper towel lined plate. The towels will absorb any excess moisture from the berries as they thaw.

Popover Pan

A popover pan looks somewhat like a tall skinny muffin pan. It's shape allows steam to build into the cavity, permeating the thin liquid batter and causing your popovers to rise.

My favorite popover pan has handles for easy removal in and out of the oven.

Can You Bake Popovers in a Muffin Pan?

Yes, of course you can! Just evenly divide the batter amongst the muffin cups. They won't rise as high as they would in a popover pan, but the end result is just as delicious.

Baking Tips

Weigh Your Ingredients:
My recipes are all tested by weighing ingredient in grams to be the most accurate. By using a kitchen scale, your recipe will turn out as close to the written recipe as possible. This is the kitchen scale I use everyday.

Mix the Batter with a Blender:
For a smooth popover batter, gently whisk the room temperature ingredients together with a hand whisk followed by pouring into a blender for a final thorough mix.

Use a Popover Pan:
A designated Popover Pan will ensure your popovers will rise in the oven properly to be light and fluffy. But, if you don't have one a muffin pan will due as a substitute. This recipe works for 6 large popovers or 12 small popovers. Just make sure to fill the tin wells ¾ full in whichever size pan you choose.

DO NOT open the oven door while baking!
Let popovers bake until edges are golden brown. Upon removing the popovers from the pan, pierce the center or side with a fork to allow steam to escape preventing any sogginess.

Crispier Popovers Need a Little More Time:
For a crispier popover, turn off the oven and let them sit in the heat for an additional 5-10 minutes.

How to Store Popovers

Blueberry popovers are best eaten immediately while warm and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Since they are a delicate and airy pastry, they are likely to become soggy after too long. I suggest making a batch with friends and treating yourself to a tasty breakfast.

Method
 

Blueberry Popovers
  1. Pre-Heat oven to 400℉ / 200℃ / 180℃ Fan (convection). Prepare a popover tin by placing a small piece of butter into each mold.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except blueberries. Hand whisk together enough to lightly incorporate flour.
  3. Transfer batter to a blender and then mix until smooth.
  4. Once oven is has preheated, place the popover pan with the pieces of butter onto the middle rack. Let the butter melt and pan heat for 2 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven.
  5. Fill the cups ¾ full with the batter. Then, evenly divide the blueberries amongst the molds by gently dropping them on top.
  6. Place pan bake on the center oven rack and bake for 18 minutes (popovers should have puffed). Then, reduce the heat to 350℉ / 180℃ / 160℃ Fan (convection) and bake an additional 18-20 minutes until the popovers are risen, puffed and nicely golden brown on the edges.
  7. Carefully remove the pan from the oven.
  8. Gently lift popovers from their mold and place on a serving dish. Pierce the center with a fork to release some steam and prevent sogginess. Add a light dusting of confectioner sugar on top and enjoy immediately!

    Can I use a muffin Tinbergen if I don’t have popover tins? Would it puff up & look the same? Thanks

      Yes you can use a muffin tin. Though they may not puff up the same, since the popover tin is designed to help them rise tall.

    After the butter melts, do you spread it around the mold, or just leave it and add the batter? Thank you!
