This week was eye-opening for me. Where have popovers been all my life? I don't know but we are never to be parted again. I felt like these were a cross between German pancakes (you know, the kind that puff up in the oven?) and the pastry used for eclairs and cream puffs (pâte à choux). They were so, so easy that I am going to need to make them all the time. I am seriously in love.
As soon as Calvin saw me get out the blender in the a.m., he though we were having crêpes. {He wishes.} But since that's his favorite thing to eat, like ever, and I sorta teased him with the blender, I decided he could have his crêpe-favorites on his popover. Hadlee had hers the same way and I ate mine with some honey/brown sugar-butter. I made them in my muffin tins because I didn't really have anything else that matched the description but I am sure I am going to need a popover pan
ASAP. I had to make 1/3 the recipe because I only had one egg but I can see myself making a full batch in the very near future. Maybe tomorrow.

If you're like me, and you have yet to make a popover, change that soon! They are delicious!

I grew up with popovers (Yorkshire Pudding) and have never thought of adding sweet to them. They were always for roast and gravy in my family. Will have to add some different toppings!
ReplyDeleteOh, all those sweet fillings look so good....
ReplyDeleteYour popovers got the royal treatment with the chocolate and jam!
ReplyDeleteWow. The chocolate and fruit filling looks delicious.
ReplyDeletePopovers with chocolate. How decadent. Looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love these with crepe toppings!!! So many options I hadn't dreamed of! Beautifully done~
ReplyDeleteAmanda,
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way when I first had them...love at first bite! LOL. The addition of the chocolate etc just makes it better...the popover pan is on my list to buy too :)

The one at the top looks so good with the honey dripping down!
ReplyDeleteYes there will be many more popovers in my future. And a new pap.

ReplyDeleteOh my! That looks gorgeous with the crepe toppings! It sounds like you need to invest in a popover pan soon!
