After School Snack

I was on my sister Tamsen's blog and she has a link to stick a fork in it so of course I had to check it out. It's a blog where she and some other women have been posting recipes and one of recipes she wrote is her popover recipe (aka yorkshire pudding). Now if you know my family well enough you'll know this is a must when having any form of roast for dinner along with lots of gravy! In fact my kids LOVE them so much I usually double the recipe.

I thought I'd try out her recipe (slightly different from mine). My recipe is very finicky with things like elevation, etc. (play a big factor in how they will turn out) BUT Tamsen claims hers are no fail so this is how popovers became the after school snack today I had to try it out!


No words can describe how excited my kids were to see popovers cooking in the oven when they got home from school! Of course while the popovers were cooking I went into the fridge for something and realized that leftover night is scheduled for supper and of course its pork roast and mashed potatoes....so why didn't I wait for supper to try these out?! Gee....sometimes I really wonder where my brain is.

My critique of this recipe. Not bad. They did rise a bit more then mine usually do but I found them way to eggy (is that a word?) tasting. My recipe doesn't have near the eggs AND my popovers can rise just as high its just not a guarantee every time. So I think I'll stick with what I've got but try a few different things (yep, I'm actually going to mess around with a recipe - something unheard of). I just might keep you posted on the progress but probably not :)
