Truth be told, I’ve never even had a popover but when I read that September 1st is National Cherry Popovers Day, I ordered some pans and looked up a recipe. I found plenty of fruity popover recipes but couldn’t find an cherry popovers recipe. After experimenting with a few different recipes and mixing things up, I ended up with this version of Cherry Popovers! Why not give ’em a try for this unique national holiday!
Cherry Popovers Recipe –
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup Fresh cherries (washed, pitted and dried), diced
Directions:
- Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees F
- Place the milk in a bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl.
- Using the whisk attachment on an electric mixer, crack the room temperature eggs into the bowl and beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until foamy.
- Turn the mixer to low and add the warm milk.
- Gradually add the flour mixture and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Let the batter rest for about 1 hour at room temperature.
- Fold in cherries after the batter sits for an hour.
- Spray a popover tin generously with nonstick spray (or use lotus liners).
- Fill the popover cups almost to the top with the batter and place the popover cups on a cookie sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Turn the oven down to 375 degrees F and continue baking for an additional 30 to 35 minutes. The popovers should be a deep golden brown on the outside.
- Turn the cherry popovers out of the pan and serve hot.
Note: Make things easier by having room temperature eggs and warm milk before mixing.
I think Cherry Popovers would be great for February, too, since that’s National Cherry Month.
Do you think you’ll try making Cherry Popovers?
Seriously, I love a warm cherry pie straight from the oven, so my mouth is drooling. I never have tried a popover and definitely will this weekend I think! YUM!
C’s teacher borrowed my tins and made them! She thought they were good!
This looks yummy! I love popover’s.
I do love popovers and these look delicious. I’ll be trying the recipe soon.
When do you put the sugar in? I’m missing that in the recipe.
Opps! Add that in with the flour, salt, and baking powder.
I’m looking at your cherry popover recipe. Do you think I could use frozen cherries? I would imagine they should be thawed? they look delicious!
I would think that could work if they are thawed!
Can you use a regular muffin tin?
I haven’t tried but it’s worth a shot!!
