These Cherry Popovers are airy, golden, and filled with bursts of sweet-tart cherries. With a crisp exterior and custardy interior, they’re brushed with butter, rolled in sugar, and perfect for brunch, dessert, or a special treat straight from the oven.

Ingredients

3 Eggs, room temperature

1 1/2 cups Whole milk, room temperature

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups Flour

1 teaspoon Coarse salt

1/2 cup Sugar, divided

1 cup Cherries, stemmed and pitted

Cooking spray

2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Place a nonstick popover pan on the lowest rack in the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C) with the pan inside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla until frothy, about 1 minute.
  3. Add flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar; whisk until the batter has the consistency of heavy cream (a few small lumps are fine).
  4. Toss cherries with 2 tablespoons sugar, then gently fold them into the batter.
  5. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and coat it with cooking spray.
  6. Pour batter into the cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes at 450°F, then reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 20 minutes until golden and crisp.
  8. Immediately remove from the pan and poke a small hole in the bottom of each to release steam.
  9. Brush warm popovers with melted butter and roll in remaining sugar for a sweet coating.
  10. Serve immediately while warm and airy.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for best rise.

Preheating the pan helps create tall, airy popovers.

Swap cherries for blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries for variation.

Add lemon zest or almond extract for extra flavor.

Best enjoyed fresh; reheating in the oven restores crispness.
