8th June 2013

Zosia from Toronto, ON

David Lebovitz’s reworked Maida Heatter recipe for popovers is a success on many levels: the ingredients are so basic, they’re likely to be found in anyone’s pantry; the batter takes less than 5 minutes to make (this time includes assembling and measuring ingredients); they do taste like cinnamon doughnuts without the frying.

I baked mine in a muffin tin greased with oil instead of butter (to avoid burning) and used only ½ the salt and ½ the melted butter and cinnamon-sugar coating.

They were light and airy with a crispy exterior and (mainly) hollow interior with a little bit of sinking in the centre, just like David’s. Delicious!
