Instructions
- 1. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- 2. Place 1 teaspoon of butter in each cup of a 6 cup standard popover pan. Alternately, you can use a 12-cup muffin pan and make 12 mini popovers. Transfer the pan to the oven 3-5 minutes before baking to melt the butter and heat the pan.
- 3. In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the milk and eggs until frothy, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon melted butter, the vanilla, flour, and salt. Whisk to combine. It's OK if there are small lumps.
- 4. Carefully remove the popover pan from the oven and swirl the butter around the cups to grease the pan. Evenly divide the batter between the popover cups, filling them 3/4 of the way full. If using, push 1 cube of cream cheese into the center of each popover. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake another 15-18 minutes, until puffed, golden and crisp. If using a muffin pan, only bake 15-18 minutes total at 450.
- 5. To make the brown butter. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter to a skillet set over medium heat. Allow the butter to brown until it smells toasted and is a deep golden color, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the butter to a heat-proof bowl. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- 6. Brush each warm popover with browned butter, then roll (generously) through the cinnamon sugar. Enjoy warm.
