Sugar Coated Blackberry Vanilla Popovers

Still looking for a treat for Mom tomorrow? These Sugar Coated Vanilla Blackberry Popovers are a wonderful treat and super easy to make. These would make a wonderful addition to breakfast in bed or for a late breakfast as home or as a nice dessert, with a scoop of ice cream.

No popover pan? No worries. You can make these in a muffin tin as well.

Cook’s Notes

If you don’t have a popover pan, you can use a regular muffin pan. You will get about 9 small, muffin sized popovers.

You could easily substitute raspberries, blueberries or strawberries for the blackberries here.

Even though the berries will sink into the batter, as they bake, they will be pushed up to the surface again and will be somewhat loose after baking. Don’t worry if the blackberries fall off as you are brushing/sugaring. Just put them back where they belong.
