“Should you’re in search of an easy-peasy deal with with unimaginable bang for the buck, look no additional than the always-delicious—and lovely—popover. Popovers take about 5 minutes to assemble (in a single bowl, with solely a whisk and a spatula, thanks very a lot) and bake up tall and billowy in about half-hour. These specific popovers are, frankly, the very best I’ve ever made (and I’ve made A LOT of popovers). They’re brushed with melted butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar post-bake, giving all of them the freshly-fried-dough vibes. The Peach Compote is nonnegotiable and is essentially the most good accompaniment to the nice and cozy, candy, barely eggy popovers—take into account doubling it so you’ve got leftovers. Popover pans make for a dramatically tall bake, however should you wouldn’t have one, you may also use common muffin pans. Fill the cups of the pans two-thirds to three-fourths full and bake for about half-hour.” —Brian Hart Hoffman
