Popovers with Strawberry Butter

Popovers remind me of when my mom used to take my sister and I on shopping trips to San Francisco. We would all spend the day shopping, then have afternoon tea at the top floor restaurant, the Atrium, at Neiman Marcus. Popovers with Strawberry Butter was what they served when you first sat down, and I devoured my fair share every time! Popovers are delightful - they're light and doughy and pair very well with strawberry butter. The butter is not overtly sweet, and can even be made with fresh strawberries! #winning

Popover Recipe (makes 6 servings):
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt

Strawberry Butter Recipe (makes 8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup):
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon of strawberry preserves (can also use fresh strawberries [use 3 strawberries])
2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. In a medium bowl, beat eggs slightly. Beat in flour, milk, and salt, until just smooth. Fill muffin tin cups 1/2 full.

3. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. Then decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees for another 20 minutes. Remove from cups and serve immediately.

4. In a small bowl, beat together butter, sugar, and strawberries until creamy. If using fresh strawberries, combine butter and sugar, then fold in strawberries. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
