Alton Brown did a Good Eats recently on Popovers. He claimed it to be the most versatile or useful recipe ever. Or something like that.
So I whipped out my “Baking with Julia Child” cookbook this morning and made some. The recipe is really easy - flour, milk, eggs, butter, salt. You mix it up in a blender. You can bake them in muffin tins.
You’ll note the absence of sugar. They are like a roll with giant air bubbles purposefully baked into them. You can add butter, honey, molasses, or whatever you want in the middle.
In the end our verdict was “what’s so great about these?” Bland savory dough with very little substance. Meh.
