Sunday is my favorite day of the week. A day when I can lounge around the cottage. Breakfast can be special and this rainy Sunday called for popovers.
The batter is so easy to prepare. Just have all ingredients at room temperature.
Today’s result was especially beautiful, and I decided to capture these images for your pleasure.
With so few ingredients, the amazing chemistry delivers a tall, tender, tasty popover.
And just think, these were made with only five ingredients. I substituted whole milk with unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk by Blue Diamond.
Last year I had fresh blueberry conserve on hand and embellished this popover with both the conserve and freshly whipped cream.
The Recipe
1 cup whole milk OR unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 cup unbleached, unbromated all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 large organic eggs
Preheat oven to 450F, with rack in the middle position. Lightly spray the popover pan (yes one needs a popover pan) with Baker’s Joy™ cooking spray.
Place all room temperature ingredients in a medium stainless mixing bowl and quickly whisk until fully incorporated. Do not over mix.
Divide the batter between the four compartments and transfer immediately to the oven.
Without opening the oven (one may peek through the oven’s glass window) bake for 15-20 minutes until popovers have risen and are golden brown.
Remove from oven and serve immediately with melted butter and local honey or freshly made conserve and whipped cream.
OK, here is where I unashamedly advertise my newly minted cookbook. For the past three years, I have culled, written, and edited 120 of my favorite recipes. Final edits came in late March, following a long winter.
This collection is now available for purchase for $20. Mail order is available for an additional $5 within the USA.
The recipes emphasize the importance of sustainable food choices. Most recipes are easy, many are vegetarian, and all are delicious. Products sought after at the local farmer’s market are revealed here too. It is also a memoir, where humorous aspects of my early life are revealed. If you would like a personalized copy, please leave a comment in this post.
Thanks so much for your continued interest in home, garden, life.

I stopped by in June and left a comment about your delicious popovers and to congratulate you on your book. For some reason, it seems that it did not go through. Hope all is well and you are surviving your hot weather.

Thank you Karen for your kind words. Have you tried the popover recipe?
Survived 9 days of 90F temps and high humidity a few weeks ago, which I surmise the weeds adored, as I had to spend 10 hours this week on hands and knees weeding my half acre. Prostrate spurge is the bane of my gardening tasks at present. Too much for this gal.
Going to take some time off soon, as my body and soul need a change.
I continue to enjoy your beautiful posts. Perhaps in my next life…;-)
In the meantime, your adventures ease the gap.
Be well, Diane

No I haven’t…need a proper popover pan or large muffin pan. They will be tried though because my husband loves them. I know what you mean about the heat, it has been hot here but not like the rest of the country. My knees and weeding don’t get along…take care. I appreciate your very kind words about my posts and it does my heart good to know that you enjoy them.

The popover pan is really necessary for proper rise. I found one recently at BBB for a neighbor and if you don’t live near one, I bet it could be bought online on their web site. Bon appetit!

Hello Tim, Thanks for your inquiry. The memoir does not include the recipe for my KLpie, alas. It does contain 120 delicious recipes that encourage sustainable food choices. Many are City Market favorites from the past, and many are vegetarian. Let me know if you desire a copy and I can check shipping prices to the UK. Best, Diane
