Hello, I had a meal problem that I though popovers might solve. Now I've never baked popovers before, but for years I've baked all my own bread and cookies using only KA flours, so I turned to KA for a recipe.
Now the problem: I have an in-home family child care where I provide lunch each day. I had left over turkey, plenty of a good homemade gravy, and veg. odds and ends - Turkey Pot Pie. No good - my little guys don't really like pie crusts. What could I make staying within budget of good nutritional value that they would eat. That's when I thought popovers. I could cut them open and ladle the turkey filling into and over. I could also do a baking/science lesson.
Our first try went really well, even with 2 - 5 year olds handling the whisk. it was fun to watch the popovers grow and when we cut them open - eyes popped.
The lunch was a hit and really easy to make.
I'll be doing popovers again.
Only note I made on my recipe card was turn the oven on first before gathering ingredients to be sure has time to get to temp. We had to wait a little, so we just kept whisking to keep those bubbles. Didn't add the butter until oven was ready as recipe said.
It's Kid's Choice cookies this afternoon.
Thanks~
Great use of leftovers and a science lesson to boot! Another great topping for your turkey pot pie is biscuits! Thanks for sharing your ideas. Irene at KAF
