Did you guys know that popovers are one of the first recipes on HBH?
Yes, way back in November of 2012. I’ve loved popovers ever since my mom introduced them to me when I was a kid. We’d always eat them simple, with just a pat of butter.
When I started cooking for my family, I somehow got into the habit of making popovers for Thanksgiving. It’s now one of the recipes my mom, little sister, and I look forward to making each year. We love a good popover and over the years, I’ve really perfected the perfect popover.
Most years I’ll just make my standard popover and serve them up with salted butter (always using Land O Lakes® Butter). But this year, I wanted to make them a little more special.
I’ve already mentioned this many times, but I’m really excited for this year’s Thanksgiving and upcoming holiday dinners. We’ve got fewer people at the table this year, so I can have more fun with the recipes and add my “special touches” that I love so much.
Which brings me to these salted rosemary popovers. They’re still very simple, but made a touch more special with just a few additions…golden browned butter and crispy fried rosemary swirled throughout the batter. Then theyâre topped with sweet honey butter and rosemary salt for serving.
Just a few little additions, yet they make all the difference.
First, butter is essential and comes into the recipe multiple times.
Since weâre browning it, use high-quality butter. As you guys know by now, I love using Land O Lakes® Butter. Itâs been my go-to butter for years. It’s what I use in my kitchen every day for both cooking and baking. And it’s what I stock my kitchen with at Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season.
Nothing compares to the rich, buttery flavor and hints of salt in Land O Lakes® Butter.
Start by cooking the butter and rosemary together until the butter is browned and the rosemary is crisp. Once the rosemary is crisp, give it a rough chop and stir some of it into the batter with the golden browned butter.
Next, position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Popovers rise a lot so itâs important to give them room! Now, place the pan in the oven to preheat. Heating the popover pan ensures the popovers will pop in the oven.
Tip: If you donât have a popover pan, you can use a standard-size muffin tin, but the popovers will be mini popovers. Still delicious, just smaller.
OK, next…mix the batter, which is a basic mix of milk, flour, and eggs. BUT itâs made special with that browned butter and rosemary.
Remove the popover pan from the oven and add a pat of butter to each popover cup. Then pour the batter into the hot popover pan and bake. About 40 minutes later youâll have these popovers, and yes, your kitchen will smell amazing.
While the popovers are baking, mix up a little honey butter using sweet honey and more of that Land O Lakes® Butter.
At the same time, mix the remaining crispy rosemary with a pinch of flaky sea salt. The combination of the sweet honey butter and salty rosemary is really what makes these popovers stand out.
Tip: You’ll want to smear that honey butter on everything this Thanksgiving, so double it.
Once you pull the popovers out of the oven, you have to serve them while warm. And with a double smear of that honey butter. Delicious.
This is one of those recipes that youâll look forward to making every holiday season. These popovers are warming, cozy, and so easy to make.
Plus, they go with pretty much any dinner you make, whether it’s a simple weeknight meal or a holiday dinner. You canât go wrong.

Hello!!
Would swapping out the milk for oat or almond milk work? And/or dairy free butter?
Hi Bree,
Yes, that would be just fine for you to do! I hope you love this recipe! Happy Thanksgiving! xx
Canât you use a blender
Hi Vickie,
Sure, that would work. I hope you love this recipe! Happy Thanksgiving! xx
These were incredible I got my two boys and husband to eat all of them and they normally hate rosemary. Thanks for being consistent with your recipes and helping out households everywhere find healthier, tastier home meals
Hi there! Thank you so much for trying out the recipe! So glad you enjoyed it! xT
Thank you so much Lauren! xT
This is, by far, the worst recipe Iâve ever tried. Fix your shit Tieghan.
Another great recipe! These were perfect!
Hey Ashley,
Happy Wednesday! âï¸ I appreciate you making this recipe and sharing your feedback, so glad to hear it turned out well for you! xT
Do you think these could be made using King Arthur Gluten Free flour?
Hey Laura,
Yes, that will work well for you! Please let me know if you give this recipe a try, I hope you love it! xx
These were amazing. I used a mini popover pan and reduced total baking time to 30 min (20 @450, 10 @350). I did not do the added honey butter or rosemary salt – they were perfectly buttery and salty without it. I also only used 1 teaspoon of rosemary in the batter (about a half a sprig in the brown butter and then chopped) because it was all I had.
Hey Aly,
Wonderful!! Thanks so much for making this recipe, I love to hear that it was enjoyed!! Happy Thanksgiving! ð¦
Can you make the batter ahead of time and then bake it right before serving? Thanks.
Hi David,
Yes, that should be okay for you to do! I hope you love this recipe! Happy Thanksgiving! xT
Are there any high altitude adjustments you would recommend?
Hey Noa,
You can follow this recipe as written, no adjustments needed:) Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
These look and sound delicious!! Can’t wait to make them. Can they be made earlier in the same day, then warmed back up in the oven right before serving guests? If so, what would you adjust the oven temp to warm up?
Hey Rachel,
Unfortunately, these need to be made fresh and served right away so they can keep their “pop”. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Can these be made with a milk alternative?
Hi Cassie,
Sure, that will work well for you! Please let me know if you have any other questions, I hope you love the recipe! xTieghan
This recipe needed a lot of adjustments I felt, I made them as instructed three times and I did all the measurements as suggested but I put them in a blender and I also let the batter sit for 15 minutes before pouring into the popover pan I thought this made a big difference they all came out the same light and airy⦠following the recipe as above they came out dence for me, so with adjustments these came out really really good I wish I could post a picture! Also when they come out of the oven give them a little prick with a knife on the top and let the steam out and they will hold their form
Hey Sandra,
Happy Sunday! So glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe, thanks a lot for making it! xxT
