Once the popover batter was made,
and poured into muffin pans,
off to the oven they went.
The outcome was an array of shapes…each beautiful in their own way…with a warm golden color…
The popovers were delicious! So much so, I made them again the following day.
My twist: I added pepper to my batter, and a tad more salt.
The popovers were enjoyed with a serving of Chicken Ala King (latin style).
I will post the Chicken Ala King recipe on my other blog, sometimes SAVORY, at some point this week or next. It will include a recipe photo tutorial.
This will be my last savory post on Baking is my Zen.
All savory recipes, going forward, will be posted on my other wordpress blog called, sometimes SAVORY.
Only dessert recipes will be posted on this dessert blog, Baking is my Zen.
A special, “Thank You” to Amy,
For sharing a photo of herself, and her son, Reid (sous-chef).
Amy is one of the hosts for this week’s Popover recipe.
Adorable photo Amy!

BAKING TIP
SEPARATING EGGS
At What Temperature Do Eggs Separate Easily?
Eggs are easily separated when COLD.
When your recipe calls for yolks or whites, separate the eggs while cold. Then, bring to room temperature before use.
Have you come across a website, www.thekitchn.com?
If not, check this site out. It is excellent. Great content and fabulous photography.

Lovely post Carmen, I love MC ´s recipes. Those popovers looks perfect, and of course your pictures are great! Sorry about the picture of myself I promised. I really need to take some to use for the blog, I just never get around to it. I´m glad Amy sent hers. Have a great week! Paula @ Vintage Kitchen Notes
thanks,
I had no idea Marion Cunningham had passed away – I feel a bit guilty that I didn’t mention it in my post now nice she was such a great lady & contributor to the food world. Thanks for the info! Your popovers look delicious & I’m going to be making them again soon too. I loved them!
Maggie, (alwaysaddmorebutter) yes, Marion Cunningham died in July. Loved her recipes, simple and good. I definitely will be making these popovers again too.
Carmen
Several of my popovers turned out like yours. They look delicious!
yummychunklet, yes, yours came out great.
Carmen
These are so beautiful. I think I could just stare at them all day. I need to make these again. Once again, I love your photography! And I need to add your new blog to google reader!
Amanda, if it wasn’t because the kitchen gets hot, since it summer, I’d make these almost every other day…
Carmen
Great looking popovers! And I love the idea of pepper — I’ll have to try that next time. I’m thinking cheese would be a great addition, too.
Phyl, (gaaarp), thanks. I look forward to adding cheese…
Carmen
We loved this recipe, easy and so delicious. I also thought of Chicken ala King when I made these. I’ll look for it on your other blog.
Cindy,
I’ll make a note to let you know when I post the chicken recipe. Baking & Cooking is the easy part…blogging…takes a bit more time…
Carmen
Your popovers look beautiful!!! They are one of my most favorites. I love having them warm with strawberry butter. YUM.
Beth, popovers are now one of my favorites too. I haven’t tried it yet with jam…look forward to that!

What a great post, Carmen! I loved it all, the photos, the text, the tips, the connects, the extra information…this blog is going in my weekly blog reader! Very nice. Oh, and your popovers look wonderfully delicious and beautiful as well!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I will read yours from now on, but I can’t comment, so please know that…I will try to leave you a little note if you comment on mine that week and you can check for that there?
Your blog is beautifully done.
xo,

Oooh, such perfect popovers! And serving them with Chicken Ala King sounds marvelous!
Liz, the popovers were a keeper…
Carmen
I also loved how each popover had its own character! These were fun to make.
I like how you tweaked them for your savoury dish. The shapes you got were fantastic!
Teresa, the popovers were so good…not the prettiest…but, lots of character… lol
