Pop! It's Over

If you've eaten Yorkshire pudding, you'll have an idea of what a Popover is. If you haven't, a Popover is made out of a mixture of flour, egg, milk and butter, baked in muffin pans. It gets its name from the way the rapidly rising batter pops over the rim of the muffin cups.

I tried the Popover recipe from the book Baking With Kids by Linda Collister because I liked how the ingredients were just placed in a blender and whizzed.


It is a cinch to make, and Erin enjoyed it, so maybe other kids may too.
