Blueberry Popover Ingredients

1. Butter: Butter is used to grease the muffin tin and to incorporate into the batter for flavor and moisture.
2. Large Eggs: Eggs act as a binding agent and contribute to the structure and texture of the popovers.
3. Milk: Milk adds moisture and richness to the batter, resulting in tender and flavorful popovers.
4. Lemon, Zested: Lemon zest provides a bright citrus flavor that complements the sweetness of the blueberries and adds a refreshing twist to the popovers.
5. Pure Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the popovers, adding a subtle sweet and aromatic note.
6. Sugar: Sugar sweetens the popovers, balancing the tartness of the blueberries and enhancing their natural flavor.
7. All-Purpose Flour: Flour is the main dry ingredient that gives structure to the popovers, helping them rise and hold their shape during baking.
8. Fresh Blueberries: Blueberries are the star ingredient of these popovers, providing bursts of sweetness and a pop of color throughout the batter.
9. Powdered Sugar, for Serving: Powdered sugar is used as a garnish, adding a touch of sweetness and a decorative finish to the finished popovers before serving.

How Do You Make Blueberry Popover?

Preheat the oven to 400° F and generously brush 12 cups of a popover pan (or muffin tin as prepared today) with melted butter – use approximately 1 to 1-½ tablespoons of butter to grease the pan.

Add eggs, milk, lemon zest, and vanilla to a blender and blend until completely smooth.

Add in the sugar and flour and blend until smooth. Lastly, add in the remaining butter and blend one final time.

Fill the popover cups halfway and top with a handful of blueberries. Place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F, and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Do not open the oven door while baking.

Remove the popovers from the oven and dust with powdered sugar. Lightly squeeze a bit of lemon juice over each blueberry popover and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Can you FREEZE Blueberry Muffins?

Yes, you can freeze blueberry muffins. Freezing is a convenient way to preserve muffins for later consumption, especially if you've baked a large batch or want to save some for future use. Here's how to freeze blueberry muffins effectively:

1. Cooling: Allow the blueberry muffins to cool completely at room temperature after baking. Placing warm muffins directly into the freezer can lead to condensation, making the muffins soggy.
