My meal mantra as of late, due to fatigue from almost a year of nonstop cooking, has been simple: Put an egg on it. This is hardly a new notion, but it has provided me with great comfort throughout these unsettled months where I find myself staring into the fridge at a total loss of…
No-Fail Popovers, No Specialty Pan Required
Buttered popovers are a great accompaniment to dinner, and they take far less time to make than rolls. Or drizzled with honey or smeared with jam, they make a delightful breakfast, brunch, or snack.
