These Cinnamon Sugar Popovers are light, crisp, and airy pastries coated in a sweet cinnamon sugar blend and finished with a drizzle of raspberry sauce. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, they’re simple to make yet impressively delicious.

Ingredients

3 eggs, room temperature

1 1/2 cups whole milk, room temperature

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp coarse salt

1/4 cup sugar, divided

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Cooking spray

1/4 cup sugar (for topping)

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

6 tbsp raspberry sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Place a nonstick popover pan on the lowest rack in the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C), allowing the pan to heat up inside.
  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla until frothy (about 1 minute).
  3. Add flour, salt, and half of the sugar, then whisk until the batter is smooth and the consistency of heavy cream. A few small lumps are fine.
  4. Carefully remove the hot popover pan, coat it with cooking spray, and fill each cup three-quarters full with batter.
  5. Bake at 450°F for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake another 20 minutes until golden brown and dry to the touch.
  6. Remove from pan immediately and poke a small hole in the bottom of each popover to release steam.
  7. Mix remaining sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush hot popovers with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
  8. Drizzle each popover with raspberry sauce and serve warm.

Notes

Room-temperature ingredients help the popovers rise properly.

For best results, preheat the pan before pouring in the batter.

Use a muffin tin if you don’t have a popover pan (reduce baking time slightly).

Try caramel or chocolate drizzle instead of raspberry sauce for variation.

Reheat leftovers at 350°F for 5 minutes to restore crispness.
