Pop Over Do Over

For all you pop over lovers out there, I have discovered a great recipe to make your favorite pre-meal treat with a twist. I was inspired by the Popover Cafe (86th and Amsterdam). These are great for a dinner party or just a cold night treat before dinner. They did not really pop-over completely, but did taste awesome! The strawberry butter and popovers are a great combination. Serves 6


Popover Ingredients
1 tbsp butter, melted (and a little more to grease tin)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cup buttermilk or whole milk

Strawberry Butter Ingredients
1 10oz. bag of frozen strawberries, thawed
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioner sugar

Preheat the oven to 450F
Butter a muffin tin
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour and salt
In a large bowl, mix together butter, eggs and milk
Pour flour mixture into liquid mixture and fold

Heat the tin for about 5 minutes
Take it out of the oven with mits and fill the cups with 1/6 of the liquid (or 2/3s full)
Bake for 15 minutes
Reduce the heat to 350F and bake for another 20 minutes (or until brown)

While popover are cooking, mix butter, sugar and strawberries in a blender
Put in the freezer to harden
Makes 2.5 cups, feel free to freeze some

Take "popovers" out of the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes
Eat right away
Strawberry Butter
Looks funny, but it's great
put extra butter in saran wrap and freeze
