I'm glad you love your new toy! I like popovers, too, but have only
made them in muffin tins ... with limited success.

The tin is just half the trick: it should have plenty of room between the
cups (my six-cupper is the size of a 12-cupper). The other half, for me, is
mixing the batter in a (tall) blender rather than a (squat) mixing bowl.

Thanks! I'll try to remember that. I do like good popovers, aka
butter delivery systems.

And a very effective one. The bigger the popover the more butter you can
stuff into 'em.

Hence, the use of proper popover pans. And eating in the shower or
covered by a plastic tablecloth.

I thought of a bib first, then reconsidered. A popover can hold a LOT
of butter.

Felice,

I have the popover pan you mention.

The best difference between the popover pan and a cheap-o muffin pan are
twofold. First, the depth and second, the angle of the cups.

I can sit down and finish off all six popovers in one sitting!!!

Best,

Andy

Isn't eating in the shower a bit too moist for good popovers?

Funny you should mention that. As I watched Junior Daughter wolfing three of
the six, I wondered if I could do away with all of them by my onesies. And
not toss them all afterwards.

Felice,

It's certainly a cholesterol jolt buttering them up with real butter and
eating all six!

You can also get creative, cut them in half (vertically) and fill each half
with vanilla pudding, ice cream, whipped cream, etc.

My compliments on the pound of spaghetti! Did that bet get you off a weeks
worth of KP?

Best,

Andy

You did, I hope, see Damsel's post referring to popovers as a butter
delivery system.

The spaghetti bit was a double-dog-dare from a weasel of a cousin (we were
both about 10) and was implemented by a doting childless aunt who was game
for just about anything. The down side of winning the bet was that I spilled
tomato sauce over a new blue silk dress.

I don't think I could do that. I don't think I'd want to. Besides,
unless we had two panfuls, my wife would kill me if she didn't get any!

When my oldest son eats with us, he generally wants a whole pound just
for himself. If it's just my wife and I, we'll do a pound, but I'll get
three more meals for myself from the leftovers.

OR softened cream cheese! Probably just as bad as butter, maybe worse?

Look up decadent in the dictionary and notice the picture of the popover.
))

Do you butter it all up first or bite for bite?

Heh heh heh!

Dan,

Well, yeah but... but... you toss in some meatballs and that's a belt-
buster!

So the newly proposed bet is 1 pound of spaghetti and 1/2 lb of meatballs?
Better dial up #1 son with the good news!!!

Best,

Andy

BTW, I'm reminded of an Essence of Emeril show episode where he made
popovers. He put the pan on the oven's top shelf. I just knew that was a
mistake!

When it came time to remove them they had popover'd so tall that they stuck
to the top of the oven. He really had to yank them out!

The BUM!!!

Best,

Andy
