@janetb Yes, they were! Thanks! @jaybutterfield Thanks for noticing, Jay...it lay neatly into the spiral...doesn't always happen! (Like most of the time!) @gardenfolk "Baked Goods R Us" ...I love bready things!
melt 1T butter...
whisk in 2 eggs...
whisk in 1 C milk
Fold that mixture into
1 C Flour and
1/2 t salt
I use a spatula to fold the mixture (slowly) over and over to moisten the flour, but allow it to remain lumpy.
Pour mixture into 6 popover cups (they're deeper than muffin cups, but I'm pretty sure it would also work with large muffin tins...used them as a child...
Set in an oven at 450 degrees for 20 min
When the timer goes off, turn oven down to 350 degrees without opening the door. 10-11 minutes more seems to make them perfect.
Let me know what you think! And it strikes me that you Brits are the champions of the popover batter cooked under a rib roast! Now THAT's delicious!!! Enjoy!
Amazing looking popovers! Was this, by chance, from the Betty Crocker Cookbook for Boys and Girls from around 1960...the one that had the names and portrait drawing of the kids with their thoughts about the recipes?
The very first thing I thought of when I saw this was Lawry’s Steakhouse. They roll the Prime Rib cart through the dining room and cut your meat table side. There is a warmer below the meat that holds baskets of popovers. They are the real reason I go to Lawry’s. This picture shows just how wonderful they really are!
@louannwarren That brings back memories of a trip to California when we were first married in 1969! We had a memorable dinner at Lawry’s. Amazing that they are still performing the same rituals!
@allie912 My most memorable Lawry’s experience was having my board of director’s Christmas dinner there. I recruited 6 singers from my staff (credit union folks!) and rented English costumes for them to wear as they sang Christmas carols to the board. As luck would have it Lawry’s also had a troupe of carolers and the ensuing impromptu sing off is something everyone talked about for years!
Oh, man, you bring back such great memories. My mother used to make popovers as a special treat for dinner. I think that I used to regard the popovers themselves as dinner. Haven't had one in probably 45 years, but now that you've so kindly posted the recipe I may have to give it a shot. My mouth is literally watering as I type this.
@stray_shooter My recipe as I made them at age 8...and still the best I've ever used! World Market carried Popover pans for awhile...you might find them on Amazon. Wish someone would make them in silicone as they almost always stick a little! (Doesn't ruin the taste however!) Let me know how your turn out!
@salza THAT's the name I was trying to remember! That's exactly what they are! We just make them in muffin cups. If you're interested, I just made a video for my grandkids who love them, and you're welcome to watch it if you'd like... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxTE6oLPJ1A&feature=youtu.be
@Weezilou thanks Louise, I will check the video out. I have never used butter in my Yorkshire puds but I am up to giving this recipe a go. Plus I have never eaten them with jam nor powdered sugar. I have only ever had them with a roast (muffin size) or when making Toad-in-the-hole.
@Weezilou -- and I should have mentioned that I like how your popover circular designs inside are echoed beautifully in the plate rim and on the tablecloth!
