Some of you might know of the battle between
A BEAUTIFUL, TALL POPOVER and MYSELF.
Now, the above popovers were as tasty as anything I've ever made....
...'specially FILLED with all that good homemade
APRICOT PRESERVES.*
Not having the correct pan to make them in, I used a
regular muffin tin....
they were good....
MERCY, they were good and Mr. Sweet
really loved them.
BUT..........
I really really wanted to make some like
KATHLEEN'S
or.....
YVONNE
(bwaaaa, she isn't blogging anymore...:>(
or.....
YVONNE
(bwaaaa, she isn't blogging anymore...:>(
They are REAL cooks and I am more a SEMI-HOMEMADE type gal....
not a REAL cook at all...
not a REAL cook at all...
but I sure would like to make just ONE batch of really pretty POPOVERS...
AND THEN.....
the wondrous mailman arrived
at my doorstep with the most wonderful package...
SET OF 6 POPOVER PAN
And, not only the pan but a TRIED AND TRUE recipe for POPOVERS.
and...the sweet note says
"I hope this helps make your popovers a success. Please enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving, Michle"
♥ ♥ ♥
She told me to NOT PEEK in the oven until the full 30 minutes for cooking was finished.
So, being the GOOD GIRL that I am, I didn't peek.....
and when the time was up....
I opened the oven and....
nearly wet down both pants legs..
they were ♫♪ BEAUTIFUL ♪♪♫
Now, THAT'S what I'm talkin' about...!!
♥
What a beauty... I am sooo impressed with my silly self...
♫♪♪
(well, OK...the wondrous pan and the fabulous recipe DID contribute to these
bloomin' beauties...:>)

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MICHLE
Warm LEMON CURD poured over this magnificent popover
took it all RIGHT OVER THE MOON....
and what a ride !! ♥♥♥ WOO HOOOOOO
Why, I'm WALKIN' THE WALK
and
TALKIN' THE TALK....
I am feelin' MIGHTY good....♪♪♫..."I can bake a pretty popover, Billy Boy, Billy Boy".....♫♪♪
and
TALKIN' THE TALK....
I am feelin' MIGHTY good....♪♪♫..."I can bake a pretty popover, Billy Boy, Billy Boy".....♫♪♪
Just take a look at that texture...
the TEXTURE of the popover was PERFECT...
.....light and airy, just the way a popover is supposed to be.
Thanks to MICHLE, I can NOW
make a popover with the big girls.
♥YAY......
Love and blessings to all,
bj ♥

I have always wanted to try that...but I haven't. They look wonderful!!
They look wonderful! That is some fancy pan you have! I don't have one of those!
Enjoy you popovers!
I love popovers and it is food that really needs the special pan. Your popovers look wonderful!
If only I could reach through my screen for a nibble. Believe me, I tried. Merry Christmas!
Oh my gosh, you make me laugh when I read your posts! You're too funny!! Your popovers look fabulous...so high & gorgeous!!
You always make everything look and sound so good that I start drooling. I have never even attempted making popovers. I don't even think I have ever eaten one. Now you make me want to get one of those pans and try them.
Thank you for acknowledgement in your popover post. They do look delicious. The popovers are great when served with braised short ribs also. Thanks again Bj.
Michle
Wow, they look great! As good looking as your biscuits! I LOVE lemon curd and on a popover, mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! xo
Bj-Those look wonderful! You do such wonderful posts! I have been gone so much with the new baby that I missed Yvonne's post. I can hardly believe it! She will be sorely missed.
I hope you are having a wonderful week! xo Diana
those popovers look yummy! Never made them but i might just have to soon.
Oh MY!!! These look SO good!!! My daughter - the oldest - Summer - could make the BEST popovers! This post brings back such good memories! I will have to ask her to make some pretty soon! It has been YEARS!!! She was a teenager back then. She is now 48. HOW did THAT happen???
Great post!! As always!
Oh I need one of those pans. You are so right, yours look amazing, sure wish I had one right about now. Hugs, marty
Oh my gosh, you've got me wanting to get one those thingy pans and make some tall risers. Thank you for posting this. Merry Christmas! Pat
Wow! Those popovers look yummy! I am a big fan of lemon curd. Don't have it often, but love it! I am glad you are now in the big girls league when it comes to making popovers. Me...I and not even in a league, since I have never made them. Maybe one day.

R U sipping wine while you're baking?
Just asking. LOL!!
OH MY GOODNESS! A popover pan arrived at your front door? I am so happy for you! I haven't one either..but I never make popovers..I let daughters do it..and like you..I am not a real cook. Well..to me you are a REAL cook. Semi homemade is what do too!
What a nice pan and just look how beautiful your popovers are. :)
Merry Christmas, bj!
I have always wondered what a popover is...and now I know. They look very yummy and your new test run looks great.
Those. Look. SOOO. Good!
Congrats on your beautiful popovers BJ-They look great! It always helps to have the right toy, er... TOOL for the job:@)
Having read this I am feeling hungry, time for lunch I think :)
I'm happy you conquered the popover challenge!! I have never made them but I had a neighbor that made the best...she filled them with custard and I thought I was in heaven! The pans look wonderful, I have to check those out!
XO,
Jane
You made me so hungry! Way to go on finally getting the height you've been working for. :)
Oh how very sweet of Michle!!! You are now a Pro!!!
But know what "BJ," would these purrrrfect Pop-Overs be as sweeeeet, without the not-so-high-ones, you have made before?
Nope, betcha' not. The disappointment of not-going-high, makes the wonderssssssssss of going-high-with-the-right-pan, all the more wonderful.
Don't-cha-think? :-)
Gentle hugs,

And never better than at Christmas."

Oh my they are making my mouth water....I love those,although we call them Yorkshire Puddings and put butter and gravy on them...who cares your look amazing! Wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas my sweet friend,lots of love Chrissy
Wow, your popovers look great. I can see why Mr. Sweet likes them. Have a blessed day. Madeline
Oh, I haven't made popovers in FOREVER! When I was a teenager, whenever my parents left for the evening I would make them...or muffins...for dinner!
beautiful!!congrats on your new pan!
Oh bj, you tickle me with your twist on stories. You should write a cookbook, it would be a bestseller!
What a sweet and thoughtful friend to send you this pan so you could make those popovers. They are drool worthy and I'm sure one taste and it's just delicious! Your photos are certainly publish worthy too.
bj, I wish your and yours a Merry Christmas.
Blessings sweet friend

(Because I can't stand to have my name misspelled, I'm trying again on Michle's.)
I love this popover story, including the "p" bit. Ha! Yay for dear blogging buddies. I want to give Michle a hug. (Now I really do want to know how she pronounces her name.)
Oh my goodness they look divine!
I didn't even know there was such a thing as a pop over pan (Ignorant Aussie that I am !)
Way to go on vanquishing the pop overs BJ.
That is a lovely story about receiving your popover pans. Your photos are magnificent. As it is almost lunch time here, I just wanted to grab one right off the post. Yum!
I don't think I've ever had a popover either. They look good!
I didn't even know they made special pans for making popovers...I make mine in regular muffin pans so no wonder I can never make them nice and tall like that! lol I'll have to keep my eyes open for one of them pans!! Such a sweet gesture of your friend to send one to you, as well as the recipe, they sure do look scrumptious. xoxo
They look absolutely delicious!
yes please. just drop them off at my place!
Oh me, oh my! Your popovers look incredible, especially with the homemade preserves! Mmmm....

Oh LAWDY... those look SO Yummy! You are the QUEEN of cooking in my book:) Have a blessed weekend, HUGS!
Those are the Christmas times that meant the most to me. Thanks for the memories. You are the luckiest ever. Two aprons. and I do good to win one thing a year. O'well it is all in the Christmas spirit. Enjoy the holidays and may you and family be richly blessed.
They look beautiful! Now I'm starving.....have a great weekend.
I have never heard of Popovers either but I am going to have to check them out now, they look delicious. You look like a real pro now, great FTF :-)
These are wonderful BJ! Have a very Merry Christmas! Thank you for joining me at Home Sweet Home!
