Ingredients

For the Popovers:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing pan)
• ½ tsp salt

For the Strawberry Butter:

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp strawberry jam or preserves

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan
   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a popover pan or muffin tin generously with butter.
2. Make the Batter
   In a bowl, whisk together milk and eggs until smooth. Add flour and salt, mixing just until combined. Whisk in melted butter. The batter should be thin and lump-free.
3. Bake the Popovers
   Fill each cup of the prepared pan halfway with batter. Bake for 20 minutes without opening the oven door, then reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10–12 minutes more, until puffed and golden brown.
4. Make the Strawberry Butter
   While the popovers bake, beat softened butter, powdered sugar, and strawberry jam until smooth and fluffy.
5. Serve
   Remove popovers from the oven and pan immediately. Serve warm with strawberry butter on the side.
