I became acquainted with popovers as a child in my home state of Maine. In the summers we would drive the hour or so down to the beautiful Mount Desert Island (home of Acadia National Park). One of the famous eateries there was the teahouse know as the “Jordan Pond House“–and their trademark dish is the popover.
Popovers are a lovely buttery, egg-y hollow roll. I know that sounds weird, but trust me on this-they are delicious! If you have every had Yorkshire pudding, this is sort of a single serving version of that.
While a bowl of soup and a couple of popovers will cost you $10 at the teahouse, you can make your own at home for just pennies. And by using your blender to whip up this thin batter you can have popovers to go with your soup in no time! Not only that-but everyone will think they are much more complicated to make than they really are 😉

Ooh, I love Yorkshire pudding! One of my favorite things my grandmother used to make.
Thanks for this recipe, it looks easy enough for me, a lousy baker!
Erika-I’m sure you will do a great job with them. . . and impress the heck out of folks!
Yummy! My sister and I made popovers frequently when she was in home ec in high school. I would get excited to put them in the little glass popover cups. We would just eat them, never pursued it with an entree. I will have to give these a whirl and send her a picture to walk down memory lane. Curious, what types of soups do you pair it with? I might do a little research online.
Amyrlin-How fun! I’m sure your sister will get a kick out of that-maybe she’ll start whipping up some at home again 🙂 As for what soups I pair it with, basically anything you might serve a slice of bread or a biscuit with 🙂 Heck-I can eat them plain with a little butter no problem. ..
Hmmm… going to try these – but I always thought pop overs were sweet like dessert. Are there more than one variety or am I just wrong? (:
Either way – THESE sound delish.
