My friend, Melissa, is always touting the merits of popovers.  I have never made them but decided tonight to give it a try.  I made homemade vegetable soup and wanted to pair it with something special–something to elevate the status of mundane vegetable soup.  So, I decided popovers would definitely make the meal special.  I used The Joy of Cooking’s recipe, even though there are tons of other recipes out there.  I wanted a good basic recipe.  Now that I mastered the basics, I definitely will add other ingredients such as herbs and cheese next time.  They really were delicious and what was most amazing is that when you look at the popover from the bottom, you will see it has a huge, airy hole in it…amazing!
