Something about popovers makes me think of Christmastime. Maybe it’s from “Little Women”? Regardless, they are so yummy and quick too. Having a fresh bread item with dinner always makes it feel more special in my opinion, and popovers are really handy to have in your arsenal because they are so quick and easy.
My mom made popovers often when I was a kid, usually for Sunday dinner. We always used muffin tins, and they were wonderful… and then I bought a popover pan. Once you try one you’ll be hooked. They rise so much better and just taste… yummier somehow. 🙂 But if you don’t have one, no worries, use a muffin tin and they will still be great. My go to popover recipe can be found here and while I still make them mostly I love making these sourdough on occasion, they only have a slight tang from the sourdough so even if you don’t care for sourdough bread you’ll probably like these.
Oh yes, and if you don’t have a sourdough starter and don’t want to make one, I bought mine from King Arthur Flour and have been very happy with it.
