To Make Strawberry Butter

  1. While baking the popovers, make strawberry butter. Place the butter in the stand mixer and beat on high until light and fluffy. Add the preserves and beat until well combined. To save the strawberry butter, keep it in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Recipe Notes

Equipment you will need:

 

If you use muffin pans instead, use every other tin so that the popovers have plenty of room to expand OR pour only halfway up with batter.
