Popovers for breakfast

Two posts in two days! I am breaking a personal record here. I am determined to get back on time with the rest of the TWD group. David makes fun of me and says that I am a bad student:).  So, here is my story of the final recipe for this month.

Today, I got up at 8 and took myself to my mom’s kitchen to bake popovers, slightly salty, puffy little pastries. Until today, I had not tried a popover and  was  excited to give this recipe a shot.  I am lucky that all the ingredients for the recipe were very easy to find here in Dikili. Milk, eggs, salt and butter were all I needed.  Blending all the ingredients in the food processor, I prepared a very liquid batter. I poured the batter in small muffin tins and baked them as suggested in the recipe. However,  since we have a small oven that gets hot and cooks very quickly, I took the popovers out of the oven almost 15 minutes early. From the glass door of the oven, I could see the way popovers puffed and rose  as they were baking.  They  puffed up very quickly, kind of like souffle,  and looked absolutely adorable. When I took them out of the oven, they sank just a tiny bit.

We had the popovers at breakfast before heading to the beach for a swim. I had mine with lor cheese (mentioned in my previous post)  and mom’s home made plum jam, a killer combination. To me, these popovers taste kind of  like crepes. My parents, David and I all enjoyed them for breakfast. However,  the flavor is not all that special for me to bake these often.
