TWD: Popovers
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I last did a TWD! I missed the blueberry one three weeks ago, and didn’t realize that the next one was only a week later instead of two, so I missed it as well.
I was prepared this week, though that’s not saying much since I (thankfully) didn’t even have to buy anything — the ingredients are basic and I had all of them in my pantry.
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie was hosted by Paula and Amy.
I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I’ve never made popovers before. I make German pancakes for the girls every weekend but always figured popovers would be a little more fiddly, and I didn’t have the fancy popover pans anyway. I was very happy to see that you can just use cupcake pans.
I ended up getting nine popovers instead of six, and thankfully had two 12-cup pans so I wouldn’t have to bake them in batches. They baked up perfectly, and I didn’t have to worry about storage — they were gone within the hour with requests to make more!
I plan to make these again and play with them a bit, adding parmesan or some herbs to serve with dinner — they beat having to make rolls from scratch!
Yes, they tend to be eaten quickly. Beautiful popovers!

Your popovers turned out wonderful!

I’ve never made a popover before either. That’s a great idea to make them a savory dinner roll.

They puffed so nicely and then puff… gone were they! Too delicious, none were left.
I’ve made them also with Grana cheese, rosemary, white and black pepper and nutmeg and we loved them.

This was a simply delicious dish. Can’t believe I haven’t made them also. But, now I’ll make them often.

These were so fun and easy. I’m looking forward to playing with the flavours, too.

We ate all but two in one evening! Dangerous! (I added cheese to the top ~ yum!)

These went very quickly in our house (but I only made a 1/3 batch too). It was great that this could be done with what was in the house already.
They look perfect!

Oh yours popped over so nicely! I like your idea of a savory version, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that!
