Popovers are supposed to overflow the pan in a giant, crusty-brown bubble. Their batter is supposed to double in volume, rising out of the pan to create that beautiful, hot-air balloon shape. Biting into a popover is supposed to reveal a surprise...there is nothing inside. Popovers are supposed to be an airy shell with a delicious eggy taste.Supposed to.
Mine didn't rise at all.
There is no surprise inside.
They look like hockey pucks.
My popovers are a flop.
Awwww.....but were they edible? they look like great bread bowls =)
ReplyDeletewell....they are only the size of a muffin cup...so using as a bread bowl wouldn't work...although I did think about it for a second! =)
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty dense..kind of quiche-ish.
We didn't finish them...they were pretty blah.
Thankfully they don't take any special ingredients, or a lot of ingredients. So I didn't feel bad throwing them out...better luck next time =)
next time you could fill them like a danish and drizzle frosting on them - they'd look like something from Panera =) But I'm sure there won't be a next time, and that they will turn out just right! I have so many cooking/baking disasters (sometimes just due to many distractions - can you believe that?!), so I can relate. It's so sad when you expect something yummy and it's a flop. I'm sure it happens to the best of chefs (even your mom =)!
ReplyDeleteI am sad for you, but I must admit I did kinda laugh. The picture is comical! =)
ReplyDeleteLacey....yeah, we laughed too. Flops happen =)
ReplyDeleteThis is a humble post! Thanks for sharing your flop.
ReplyDeleteYour disaster resulted in the perfect name for your post.
ReplyDeleteFlopovers. Loved it!
