Bites II

October 25, 2008 This is another one of my grandmother's recipes. It's an old one- really, really old. Three generations at least and I grew up on them. My mom wasn't really into biscuits that I'm aware of, at least she never baked them for us. We had these light, fluffy, egg-y, melt in your mouth "rolls" slathered with butter. Nothing beats it, but a side of steamed lobster definitely makes it better. Add a little drawn butter and the meal is complete. (It's all about the butter). I guess these are a traditional New England style rolls (and I use the term loosely). I've never had them other than at home or at my grandmother's house. This is one of the recipes I'm putting into my Taste Book that I will be self publishing for my Mom as a birthday gift. It will contain this and all the recipes my brother's and I grew up with- mostly my maternal grandmother's but a few of my mother's and my late father's favorites will be included as well. I'm hoping it will be done by mid December. There was no way I wasn't going to include this most unusual bread. I've been thinking of a way to describe them for those of you that have never tasted them- there's really nothing like them. I've read recipes for Beef Wellington and for some reason I get the feeling it has a similar texture to the bread-crust that surrounds the meat. They come together in a flash- they are very easy to make and there isn't any yeast so there is no waiting for the dough to rise. Just mix the ingredients together, pour them into popover tins and put in a cool oven. That's the secret- you must put them in before you turn your oven on. They're good with breakfast, lunch or dinner. I rarely make them since the hubs likes us to limit our carbs but when I do, they are usually alongside supper, although I imagine they would be delicious with eggs for breakfast. I highly recommend using a popover tin rather than a standard muffin tin if you have one. Each "cup" is separate from the others which is important.
Grandma Baldwin's Popovers 3 eggs Put all ingredients in a large
bowl and mix with a whisk thoroughly without over-beating. Coat each popover tin
with a large amount of butter and fill each 1/2 to 2/3 full with the batter. Put
them in a cold oven and set the heat for 450 F. Bake for 15 minutes then
reduce heat to 350 and bake another 15 - 20 minutes. Test by removing from pan.
