Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a popover pan or muffin tin in the oven to heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It's alright if there are a few lumps in the batter.
- Remove the hot pan from the oven and spray each cup generously with non-stick cooking spray.
- Fill each cup about 3/4 full with batter and evenly distribute the fresh blueberries among the cups.
- Place the pan back into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and let the popovers cool slightly before serving. They will deflate slightly as they cool.
- Serve warm and enjoy these delightful blueberry popovers!
