Raise your hand if you like bread and butter! (ps - everyone's hand should be raised right now 😉 )
Honestly, it is one of the best things in life. Sinking your teeth into a hot roll smothered in butter - bless it!!
We are taking one of my most favorite bread recipes, popover rolls, and giving it a holiday spin today with some homemade gingerbread butter! Of course, you can serve these with regular salted butter (reeealllllyyy into Kerrygold butter these days), or honey butter, or keep it festive and sweet with this easy gingerbread butter that I know you'll love!
And the best part about this recipe? It is easy! Just 4 ingredients and one bowl away from tall, fluffy, eggy, carby, goodness! Hungry yet?! Let's bake!

Equipment and Pan Needed
You will need a special pan for this recipe. There are a lot of eggs in this batter which helps it rise and give popovers their tall signature shape. Having this special pan will also help achieve it. You can find one here on Amazon. It is basically a really deep muffin tin. And remember to generously spray the insides before pouring the batter in so they can rise nice and tall!

Frequently Asked Questions
They will keep stored in a zip-top bag in the fridge for 3-5 days. You can enjoy them cold or pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds to warm them.
The popovers are best made right before enjoying - and recommended to eat warm straight from the oven. However, the gingerbread butter can be made up to a week in advance and kept in the fridge until needed.
No problem. I tested these in a regular muffin pan and this may be used instead. They will not have the traditional popover shape or be as tall but will work if needed. Fill each space with batter ¾ of the way full. Should make 12 muffin popovers.
