There's something truly magical about pulling a batch of freshly baked popovers out of the oven. These Buttery Honey Popovers remind me of visits to my grandmother's house, where the scent of warm dough filled the air, and golden popovers were practically inhaled by ecstatic guests.
This recipe is a foolproof way to achieve perfectly puffed popovers every time. The combination of butter and honey creates a tender, sweet interior enveloped in a crispy, airy shell.
Buttery Honey Popovers
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a muffin pan in the oven to heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thinner than pancake batter.
- Remove the hot muffin pan from the oven and generously grease it with butter. Quickly pour the batter evenly into the cups, filling each about halfway.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for an additional 10-12 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Immediately remove the popovers from the pan and serve warm. Drizzle with additional honey if desired.

For best results, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Popovers rise due to steam, so avoid opening the oven door during baking.
You can switch up the flavor profile by adding herbs like rosemary or chives for a savory twist, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a rich, sweet variation.
