Best served slathered in cranberry butter, these muffin tin popovers are the light and airy dinner roll alternative you've been dreaming of for all your home-cooked dinners. Popovers are notorious for being somewhat fickle and requiring a special popover tin for baking, but this recipe has been formulated for a standard muffin pan—and yes, you'll still get that beautiful "pop"! Since they're only slightly sweet, these popovers can be paired with anything from savory herbed butter to a sprinkle of cheese if you're not in the mood for cranberry.

Directions

1. Position oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 400F.
2. In a bowl, mix the bread flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Add vanilla extract, milk, and eggs to the bowl and whisk to combine.
4. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray. Distribute the batter by filling each cup slightly over halfway.
5. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes until popovers are golden brown. Do not open the oven door while baking.
6. Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving with cranberry sauce, or make your own homemade cranberry butter by whipping a few tablesoons of cranberry sauce into 1 stick of softened Nellie's Free Range Sea Salted Butter!
