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!

Oh my gosh. Eggnog popover. That is brilliant. I am so making another batch of popovers tomorrow morning with breakfast... Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThese little cuties are almost addictive - in a good way. Eggnog popovers sound like a perfect winter treat.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got over your popover phobia. Me too! An eggnog popover sounds divine.
ReplyDeleteI love popovers but have never made them. I'll have to try them out!
