Ingredients
2stickssalted butterdivided
4largeeggsroom temperature
1 ½cupsmilkroom temperature
½teaspoonvanilla extract
1 ½cupsall-purpose flour
½teaspoonsalt
1tablespoonhoney
¼cupsugar
¼cuploosely packed brown sugar
½teaspooncinnamon
Instructions
Melt butter and set aside to slightly cool.
Whirl eggs with milk in blender until combined. Add 3 tablespoons of melted butter, vanilla, flour and salt. Blend again until frothy. Let batter rest 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place rack in lower third oven and remove higher racks that might impede rising.
Lightly brush cups and rims of popover pan with butter (a mini muffin pan will work for a less puffy popover). Place into hot oven for 2 minutes. Carefully remove and fill about ⅔ full of batter. Bake 20 minutes. Do not open oven door. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 10 minutes.
While baking, mix the sugars and cinnamon into a bowl. Remove popovers from oven and poke with a knife to release steam.
Cool slightly to touch. Add honey to remaining butter and brush popovers so it seeps into the poked holes. Dip each top into the cinnamon sugar.
Best if served immediately or warm later in a 325-degree oven for 5 minutes.
Serve with leftover melted butter and cinnamon sugar and encourage “dipping!”
