Indulged... by Weezilou

Indulged...

In my mind, I'm that old-fashioned grandmother who loved baking for the grandkids. Truthfully, Ken does most of the cooking and baking now, but I make the popovers, and when Dylan asked, I was more than happy to whip some up for him!

FYI..."Popovers" have the same ingredients you Brits use to make Yorkshire Pudding...
Fun shot of your treats and the happy recipient

Popovers!! My friends and I used to make them after school! What a special treat for Dylan!

Aaw. Nice!

@danette My grandmother gave me a nice cookbook for Christmas when I was 8, and, with the popover recipe, I made them for my family "the rest of my life"...I still have the book and that page is well-used!

Lucky boy! I love our Yorkshire puddings so I know I will love a popover. It’s a strange name - I wonder where it originated?

@pamknowler A "popover pan" is typically more narrow & deeper than a muffin tin. It doesn't take a lot of batter, but during cooking, it rises tall "and Pops Over!" (Though sideways, check out the "popped" shape to the left! The darkest part on the bottom of it on the rt is about how much batter was in it!)

What a good grandma! 😊 Thanks for including the interesting fact about popovers and Yorkshire pudding!
April 3rd, 2024  
Great shot

I have never heard of popovers before. Sounds like you're fitting the grandma role wonderfully.

they sound heavenly ... nice shot with your grandson in the background

That's a happy face in the background. :)

What a super POV for this image. I love that happy, blurry face in the background. One hand holding a half eaten 'popover' and the other poised to grab a second! And I love the way you described yourself! Love it.

Dylan sure is giving you the thumbs up, fabulous capture and narrative.

So giant Yorkshire puds, what do you eat them with? Fab photo, good looking treats - happy grandson!

@Weezilou thanks for the explanation Louise. I Googled popovers and it said you use butter in the pan and in the UK its tradition to use the fat from the roast meat- normally beef. Therefore our Yorkshire puddings are normally slightly more savoury. Mind you these days I expect vegetable oil would probably be used in the tin.

Yum. I love a Yorkshire pud .
April 3rd, 2024  
I love popovers.
April 3rd, 2024  
Great capture. Popovers are so good
April 3rd, 2024  
Those look like exemplary examples of popover baking art.
Love the DOF you’ve chosen too.
April 3rd, 2024  
yum
April 3rd, 2024  
Awesome DOF and composition. Also, those look super tasty!
April 3rd, 2024  
Great image Louise. My Grandmother used to make the best Yorkshire puddings. I love them, but I've never had much success with making them.
April 3rd, 2024  
Love the POV and DOF…a great photo! It always makes up feel so good when there is something we can do that our grand kids appreciate and look forward to. I make ginger cream cookies for my son and grandboys! And my favorite aunt made them for me.

I was going to say Yorkshire puddings, my neck of the woods!!
April 3rd, 2024  
Nice picture
April 3rd, 2024  
Great focus and dof
April 3rd, 2024  
We call them Yorkshire Pudding in Canada too. Whatever they’re called they go great with roast beef and lots of gravy. Yum!
April 3rd, 2024  
Super focus, dof
April 3rd, 2024  
Look splendid
April 3rd, 2024  
They do look amazing - I guess they are savoury?
April 3rd, 2024  
So yummy and nice focus!

@amyk @danette @mozette @pamknowler @bjywamer @edorreandresen @christinav @lynnz @robz @jamibann @ludwigsdiana @blightygal @pamknowler @wakelys @joansmor @bkbinthecity @gardencat @pdulis @ljmanning @merrelyn @gardenfolk @craftymeg @agnesvanderlindeicloudcom @agnesvanderlindeicloudcom @linnypinny @cdcook48 @seattlite @boxplayer @rensala @radiogirl Thank you all so much for adding to this conversation! By whatever name we call these, clearly they're well-loved! Our finest rib-roast restaurant in LA serves these on the side with a slab of meat ; ) ... I would do the same for a Christmas dinner. All other times, we're more likely to just open these, slater butter and maybe any jam. A big taste treat is to bake the batter in something akin to an omelette pan, and we'd drizzle lemon juice and sprinkle with powdered sugar before slicing and serving wedges. We could even do that in a popover, of course, and they're divinely delicious! (Renee, the batter, itself, is just egg, flour, melted butter, milk and salt... I find the key is to grease the pans well so they come out without tearing them!)

Great pov and dof. Dylan's smile and thumb says it all.
April 4th, 2024  
Looks scrumptious!
April 4th, 2024  
YUM!
April 5th, 2024  
Those look delicious! Love the POV
