I can’t believe I lived my entire life up until last year without ever having eaten a Pop Over. I know! Sheltered a bit, I guess! So if it’s possible that I never had one, much less made one, I assume that maybe there is someone else out there who’s not in the know…and it’s my duty to share.
Pop Overs are like French Toast – except so much better! They are tall and puffy coming out of the oven – kind of magical – and once you cover them in syrup and a handful of fresh fruit, well, you’re in heaven. I’ll bet anything you already have the ingredients on hand and it only takes about 10 minutes to whip up the batter then another 30 minutes of baking time – so why not try them out this weekend? You’ll love them!
Breakfast Pop Overs
makes 6 (enough for 3-4 people)
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup All Purpose Flour
1/4 cup sugar
2-3 Tablespoons Butter
Preheat Oven to 375.
Divide the butter into the 6 cups of your Pop Over Pan. If you don’t own one, you can use a muffin tin, but you will need to use all 12 cups. Just divide the butter up evenly) Place the pan in the oven for 3-5 minutes while you are making the batter.
In medium bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and sugar, then whisk in the flour. Pour the batter into the butter filled cups and return to oven for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 and continue to bake for another 25 minutes. The Pop Overs will be tall and golden, puffed and gorgeous. Remove from pans and serve with your favorite toppings.
Here’s a picture of the Pop Overs we had last weekend…topped with berries from our garden and maple syrup – Yum! Make them this Saturday and your Hub will be wrapped around your little finger – he’ll even do laundry and yardwork! (well, mine did anyway. I hope it was the Pop Overs.) Enjoy your weekend!

I guess I am sheltered too…I've never heard of these! They look delicious; I'll have to try them for sure…thanks for sharing!
I suppose we are all sheltered. I have never had a pop over.
They do sound delicious.
I love it when I can hold food over my hubbys head!
Yummy! I too, didn't know what a popover was until very recently. I still have yet to try baking some, so thanks for the recipe
How funny is it that I just posted about Popovers this morning too! I haven't had them since I was young, and recently made some too.
They look awesome! I love popovers! This is the second post I've seen about them today. I'm taking that as a hint that I should make some!
I don't think I've ever had a popover. Now that I know they are kinds of like french toast, I think I need to give them a try!
I, too have never had one – or made them. You have inspired me. Well, when it is cooler, anyway.
Those look great with the fresh fruit.
Oooh I've never thought of popovers with syrup. What a great idea!
Love your blog. I have never tried a popovers either but yours look so good, I might have to try!
I just came across your blog! I love popovers. I had them for the first time a couple of years ago at my in-laws' in Virginia. We don't eat them with syrup or fruit though; rather, we spread butter and/or jam on them. Also, my recipe calls for a little bit of salt instead of sugar. Thanks for sharing this one!
You know, I've never made a pop over and I am pretty sure that I have never eaten one either. I can't believe how simple they are! Thanks for sharing this one, Susan!
