Tips & Variations

  • Use frozen blueberries; no need to thaw
  • Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for extra brightness
  • Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey before serving
  • Avoid opening the oven door during the first 15 minutes for maximum rise
  • Serve immediately; popovers deflate if left to sit too long

Storage & Freezer Instructions

  • Store cooled popovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day (best served fresh)
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness
  • Freeze unbaked batter in muffin liners for later baking
  • Do not freeze fully baked popovers; they lose their airy texture
  • Serve warm for best flavor and texture

Frequently Asked Questions
