6. Popovers are the same as Yorkshire Pudding????

Apparently the rock I've been living under is even larger than I thought.

I started making popovers when I was about 12, using the recipe from my mother's cookbook that had a copyright date of about 1935. While the instructions were a tiny bit complicated for me at that age, they weren't insurmountable. And while I had never had popovers before, they seemed to turn out just okay. Ever after, (and that was some 60 years ago I first made popovers) I've thought that the complexity and difficulty of making popovers was exaggerated.

Wow. They are the same as Yorkshire Pudding. (Walks away, shaking her head in disbelief)

For the most part, make that for two. LakeArenal Jun 2021 #1
