Popover Recipe

/

My kids love helping in the kitchen. I’m all about easy cooking when little hands are helping out. That’s why these popovers are our favorite to make together - they only have 3 ingredients: milk, eggs, and flour. If you want to kick it up a notch, you can add a pinch of sea salt or a bit of cheese on top.

Popovers are a similar to Yorkshire pudding (popularized in England), and are a hollow roll made from an egg batter. Finished popovers look something like this:

Working with my rascals is always an adventure. When you’re cooking with little ones, it’s about the experience and not the presentation; it’ll taste just as good, we promise! When we first made the popovers, we didn’t get the perfect photo above, but they were delicious. We improved on our presentation as we continued to practice; the trick is adding enough batter to make sure they actually popped over the top of the tin.

Popovers

Ingredients Needed:

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup of all purpose flour

  • 1 cup of whole milk

  • Optional (Sea Salt and Shredded Cheese)

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease and flour a six cup popover pan. (I’ve also used a normal muffin pan, but they will grow and bake a little differently. Make sure to test it a few times to get the proportions right.)

  • Step for rascals: In a large bowl beat eggs slightly, then let your rascals pour in flour and milk, and slowly mix until just smooth. The adult might need to beat it a little to give it some air right before you finish. Be careful not to over mix.

  • Fill popover pan 1/2 full.

  • Optional: if you want to add salt or cheese, now’s your moment. Sprinkle lightly on top, making sure not to overfill the pans or outshine the original popover flavor.

  • Bake for 20 minutes. Decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and immediately remove popovers from cups. While popovers are best served piping hot, be careful to warn little mouths that they are hot!

Let us know how your popovers turn out and if you have any tips or tricks too!

Welcome to Hello Rascal Kids

At Hello Rascal Kids, we know every member of the family is unique and that no two families are alike. With this in mind, we have created our core beliefs that drive everything you will see on this site.

  1. We believe in encouraging kids to be kids. Our focus is on ways to play, create, travel, eat, read, and celebrate.

  2. We are an online community built to inspire kids and parents of all ages. We strive to provide activities, projects, conversations, and more that are as diverse and unique as the families who visit us.

  3. We embrace the rascal in each child, knowing that what makes families unique is the diversity within each member. Not every item on our site will be for every person, but every person will be able to find some items that they can love together.

  4. We will share our family’s journey but also share others’ as well. Our mission is to curate stories and ideas from many viewpoints, and the best way to do that is to encourage other voices to contribute to our community here.

  5. We are an uplifting space, led first by our own attitudes. We will conduct this site and those who speak here with the same expectation. We know life and parenthood is not always happy, simple, or fun, but we want you to rely on us to help you remember, create, and celebrate uplifting moments with your own family.

  6. We know you’re raising little humans - we are too! You’re working hard on life, your career, your family - and we want you to succeed. To help, we will surround you with a community of creative, interesting, thoughtful, and fun loving people who appreciate daily reminders that you (and everyone around you) are doing their best. There are all sorts of ways to parent your children, and that’s why you visit Hello Rascal Kids.

You’re doing better than you think. No, really, you are. Hello Rascals is here to help you remember that. So read on friends!
