If there is one thing I am not good at,
it's timing. I tend to give anything a few extra minutes – it's
okay if I show up early, or if I have to keep dinner warm before
everyone is ready. For that reason, I never baked popovers before.
They tend to collapse if they are not served immediately. But with
Sourdough Surprises picking them for the December challenge, I had to
try.
I didn't get too creative with this
challenge. I simply made the suggested recipe:
Served with chili, they were wonderful
despite this being my first attempt. Crispy on the outside, soft and
almost custardy on the inside. Made in a muffin tin, it actually
made 8 popovers. So I did save one for breakfast the next day with
my yogurt. There was definitely a difference warm and cold, but the
texture remained.
For that reason, I'm not scared of
popovers anymore. In fact, while I was planning on baking peanut
butter biscuits for Christmas breakfast, the taste and texture got me
thinking...a little sugar, a little nutmeg...warm them up and you
have an eggnog popover for breakfast!
