First off, stop watching those cooking shows and start reading cook books.
Doesn't matter if it's fresh or dried, sweetie. If it's mixed into the
dough it will have the same taste effect. If the recipe makes it burn it's
a bad recipe. Nothing should burn in a popover, plain and simple. Come on,
you're a big boy, you can figure this out!
