Easy Popovers with Honey Butter
My easy popovers with honey butter are light, flaky and perfect for any meal. And did I mention, they only require five ingredients?!
One thing our family loves to eat with any tasty meal is warm bread. So when dinner time hits and I need to bake some delicious bread quick, my go-to recipe is always popovers with honey butter.
They can easily compliment any meal (dinner or breakfast) and there’s never (ever!) any leftover. So I’m pretty sure that means my family likes! 🙂
Why Popovers Are A Favorite…
The best thing about these popovers besides how scrumptious they are, is the fact they only require five ingredients! Basically kitchen staples – I’m willing to bet you five bucks – you already have in your kitchen. All you need is some flour, salt, eggs, milk and butter! So easy, right?
Tips for the Best Popovers
There are two tips I have discovered that will almost guarantee you a perfectly popped popover every time.
One is to let the milk/eggs mixture rest for the full 30 minutes. When you take some of the chill out of the eggs and milk, the popovers will puff more.
And two, be sure to preheat your pan for a full five minutes in the oven. Preheating the pan is step you don’t want to skip – trust me on this! If you are looking for a great pan, here are some of the best I’ve found:
Now if you’re worried because you don’t have a popover pan, you can use a standard-sized muffin pan. But just be aware, the popovers will be mini-popovers. Same great taste, just smaller.
Level Them Up with Honey Butter
Have you ever wondered how to make honey butter? It’s so easy. But you may be thinking to yourself the honey butter isn’t necessary. It is! In my personal opinion, it’s soooooo worth it. And you know, there’s only one way to find out if I’m right about that. 🙂
I hope your family loves this easy bread recipe as much as we do! If you give it a try – I’d love for you to share your feedback!

- 1 tablespoon butter, melted + extra butter for coating popover pan
- 4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Lightly spoon floor into a dry measuring cup, level with knife. In a medium bowl combine measured flour and salt, stirring with a whisk. Set aside.
