Popovers Slathered with Butter and Jam
As a kid my mom and my best friend's mom made popovers for us regularly. I started day dreaming about slathering butter and jam on the piping hot puffs of eggy goodness and promptly went out to buy a popover pan.
Using fresh eggs from my cousin's chickens and the last drop of milk we had I successfully made these surprisingly simple but tricky treats this morning.
I used Epicurious' Teatime Perfect Popover recipe. Everything needs to be at the right temperature for these to successfully puff up and it's essential you don't open the oven too soon or they will collapse. If you like to check the oven often this is when the oven light actually comes in handy.
Next time I will let the butter pieces come to room temperature with the rest of the ingredients and put it in the pan after it warms in the oven to ovoid a spattering of melted butter I got in the face pulling the pan out.
Final product slathered with butter and Green Jam Man Strawberry and Plum with Rosemary Jam.
