Popovers II

I made popovers for my parents' anniversary using that recipe. It made exactly 6 in regular coffee mugs. They were delicious!

An additional tip, however: if you think you've poured too much into one cup and too little into another DO NOT pour the difference into the other cup. Having a trail of batter running up the side ruins the puffiness! Either use a spoon or a baster or get over it.

Popovers

Okay, if I weren't balls to the wall right now on my thesis, I would be making popovers. They are probably the easiest thing you can possibly make from scratch, and I say that with no exaggeration. Here is a recipe that I have not tried, but which exists.

Here is an additional tip that I HAVE tried: If you don't have popover pans, use ceramic coffee mugs. Grease them with PAM (butter has a low smokepoint) and space them out on a cookie sheet, and put them in while the oven preheats so they get hot too. Then, pour about an inch and a half of batter into each one when you're ready, and bake them. Brilliant. Do it now.
