I've been meaning to make popovers for a while now, but have never gotten around to it. I don't know what I've been waiting for. These were incredibly easy. I love recipes that involve nothing more than throwing simple ingredients into a blender and processing. The only change I made to the recipe was replacing almost all of the white flour with whole grain flour. I had only wanted to replace about half of the flour, but I actually ran out of white. I thought it worked surprisingly well. I'm sure they weren't quite as light and fluffy as they would have been otherwise, but I liked the additional flavor the multi-grain flour gave the popovers, and they still had a very nice texture.

Your popovers look rather tasty with the berry jam.
ReplyDeleteSome of mine were totally uneven, maybe we put too much batter in the cup. I like the idea of whole wheat flour, and of course with butter and jam!
ReplyDeleteI think that is the fun part--they all come out looking different! A unique breakfast food for my unique grandchildren. I see a teaching moment near!
ReplyDeleteThey look tasty with the jam! I do believe popovers are supposed to be odd shaped ~ part of their character!
ReplyDeleteYour Popovers look perfectly wonderful and I love that you served homemade blackberry jam with them. We enjoyed their odd shapes actually. Whole grain flour always adds another layer of flavor to baked goods that I really enjoy and using it for the popovers was a really good choice.
ReplyDeleteI agree - they look perfect. I am not sure what causes them to shape the way they do; I seem to get a different look everytime I make them...
ReplyDeleteI think the wild shapes they can take on are part of the fun of popovers. I like that you used whole grain flour for this - it's good to know it works.
