Popovers were a special thing at my house as a kid, too. I don’t recall any strict rules…just lots of melted butter on them! Nowadays, my family eats them with butter and local peach jalapeno jam. My brother in law adds a piece of smoked ham and a slice of cheddar. I need to get a popover pan and try your version. Thanks for the post!

As a kid I loved this right out of the oven with butter and homemade grape jam. As an extra treat if any didn’t get eaten right away they could be filled with chocolate pudding or whipped cream.

Ha, ha — I am laughing that Megan asked me a question about cooking. Obviously this was Angela’s post. : )

I did keep it closed. I set the timer for 19 minutes and lowered the temp then, without opening the door. I’m sure you could open the door for a bit to help it lower… just do so gently!

Mary - So when you lower the temperature on the oven you keep it closed the whole time? Or do you open the oven door to allow some of the heat to escape? I feel like this is a stupid question but I know I’ll end up doing the wrong thing.
