Eggs play a crucial role in a variety of beloved recipes during celebrations. They are an essential ingredient for hosts, offering convenience and creativity for creating hors d’oeuvres, baked goods, and classic dishes ideal for gatherings.
Eggs ensure that baked treats (and festivities) maintain their height and flavor. With just 10 minutes of preparation and a handful of basic ingredients, you can whip up delicious recipes like Popovers with Cranberry Butter, created by best-selling author and renowned social media chef Shereen Pavlides.
Begin by beating the key ingredient – eggs – with flour, salt, and milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Allow the thin batter to chill in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight before baking in a popover pan (or a muffin tin will also work) until they achieve their light, flaky perfection.
Next, mix softened butter with cranberry sauce and a touch of salt before spreading it generously on the warm popovers. For a delightful twist, you might opt to prepare homemade cranberry sauce instead of using store-bought options.
This dish can be enjoyed as either a starter or a light dessert, and it has the potential to become a treasured part of your family’s holiday traditions.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 45-50 minutes
Yield: 6 popovers
Popover Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/3 cups whole milk
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons avocado or vegetable oil
Nonstick cooking spray
Cranberry Butter Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
A pinch of salt
Instructions for Making Popovers: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, milk, and eggs until the mixture is perfectly smooth. Add the oil and whisk once more to combine. Pour the mixture into a pitcher, cover it, and chill for a minimum of 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Place a 6-cup popover pan in the oven for 10 minutes to heat it up.
Take the pan out and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Stir the batter, then divide it among the cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake until the popovers are puffed up and thoroughly cooked, approximately 45-50 minutes.
To create the cranberry butter: In a medium bowl, blend the butter, cranberry sauce, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Serve the hot popovers alongside the cranberry butter.
