Growing up there was one recipe that always brought me and my two sisters running to the table. No tears. No one upset because they didn’t like the dinner selection. Just mouths happily chewing, chewing, chewing.

Pop overs.

Until, that is, only two of these babies were left. Three girls. Two pop overs. You do the math.

I remember my parents splitting the remaining two pop overs in half so we could each have some. But then, there was the lonely last half. Which we of course fought over.

Hey, what can I say. These things are good. Capital G. Capital double-O. Capital D. GOOD.

As kids we broke open their steaming shells to find their creaming yellow insides and sprinkled, wait no, doused them with cinnamon sugar. We shoved these golden beauties into our mouths and sighed as they melted on our tongues. Did you know that bread can melt on your tongue? It can. Oh yes. It can.

Now, as an adult {kind of} my tastes have refined a little. Instead of covering them in cinnamon sugar, I smother them in honey butter. Sweet heavenly butter with hints of cinnamon and vanilla.

It’s heavenly.

Unfortunately for the kiddo, he doesn’t yet appreciate the beauty of these pop overs. Yet. But I’m not upset. Oh no. That just means there are more for me.

Pop Overs

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup flour
• 4 beaten eggs
• 1-2 tablespoons sugar

Preheat oven to 375º.

Generously grease 12 muffin times, greasing well on the edge and around the top as well.

In a 2-quart sauce pan melt the butter. Add milk and bring to a boil. Add flour all at once, stir vigorously. Cook and stir until mixture forms a ball that does not separate.

Remove from heat; cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, beating with a wooden spoon after each addition for 1 minute or until smooth.

Fill muffin cups 1/2 full and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake at 375º for 40-45 minutes. Remove to rack and serve immediately. These are best fresh out of the oven.
