NEW ENGLAND POPOVERS

January 8, 2015

Our friends Joanna & Carolyn invited us to their home a couple months ago and Joanna completely wowed me with the popovers she served. I had tried my hand baking them in the past, but needed an expert to show me the way. Joanna was raised in Massachusetts, and is even a descendent of American founding father, President John Adams! But more importantly to my taste buds she made the best popovers I have ever tasted.

Popovers are quite simple to make, and very delightful to eat. They are a variation of England’s Yorkshire pudding.

These come out perfectly in a special popover pan (Joanna had a beautiful stoneware version), but she says you can make them in muffin tins too!

    Wonderful!! MY mother made these for us often! My siblings and I still make these. My recipe has the milk and egg at room temperature, but no matter, popovers are underrated! Sadly, not many people outside of New England know what these are.

    Do these freeze well?

  • Lucille

    Hey there! These looks great.
    Quick ?:
    You don’t have to grease the muffin tin, right?

    • Rachel Schultz

      Yes, do grease.

    Popovers! I too have a special popover pan — and mostly forget I own it! They are very easy and delicious. I have friends who make popovers for breakfast — eaten with butter and jam. I can’t wait to see your goat cheese and black pepper recipe! And thanks for bringing the thought of popovers back to the front of my brain!
