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...
@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!
@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 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.
@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.
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.
Love the DOF you’ve chosen too.
