these tender popovers "pop up" nicely in the oven and hold a delicate cream filling dotted with fresh chopped strawberries. If you don't have a popover pan on hand, you might try muffin cups.

Strawberry Popovers Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 9 Servings

20 30 50

Ingredients

1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
4-1/2 teaspoons shortening
POPOVERS:
4 eggs
2 cups 2% milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in strawberries. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Using 1/2 teaspoon shortening for each cup, grease the bottom and sides of nine popover cups. In a small bowl, beat eggs; beat in milk. Add the flour, sugar and salt; beat until smooth (do not overbeat). Fill prepared cups half full.
Bake at 450° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 15 minutes longer or until very firm.
Immediately cut a slit in the top of each popover to allow steam to escape. Spoon strawberry filling into popovers. Serve immediately. Yield: 9 servings.

Editor's Note: You may use greased muffin tins instead of popover pans. Fill every other cup two-thirds full with batter to avoid crowding the popovers; fill remaining cups with water. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes and 350° for 10 minutes. Yield: 13 popovers.
