I have wanted a popover pan for about two years. They don't cost very much, around $20, but I have something against spending good money on a item that has only one purpose. I like items (and people) that are multi-taskers. On Tuesday I found a brand new popover pan in the original packaging for $1.50 at the thrift store. I just couldn't pass it up for that price.
I love popovers! They are simple to make and call for only basic ingredients- milk, flour, eggs and salt. I made these this morning and served them with strawberry butter. Yum!
UPDATE: I was feeling lazy and didn't want to type out the recipe. Still don't! This one at the Food Network is pretty much identical to the one I used (it came with the pan).
For the strawberry butter, I tossed a stick of butter (room temp), 1/4 cup strawberry preserves and 2T powdered sugar into my kitchenaide and whipped the heck out of it. I really want to try it with raspberry or blackberry preserves.
Oh and, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY tomorrow!

oooooh I love popovers and am just like you...I can't bring myself to buy something that only has one purpose. Score for you at the thrift store!! :)
Hope you enjoy the snow & the popovers!!
Score! A bargain like that feels awesome. We love popovers too, but we'll have to be satisfied with puffy oven pancakes until I find my own popover pan at a thrift store.
I once found a brand new cuisinart double canister ice cream maker and a brand new italian pasta roller (with attachments) in the same thrifting trip. But I only had enough cash with me to buy one of them-- it was so painful!
I chose the ice cream maker and we're happy with it, but I still think about that pasta roller all the time...
you are the Queen of shoppers!!!
Great Find! I am also hindered by where to keep it when I'm not in a popover mood. :) Can you elaborate on the strawberry butter, please? YUM!
Erin! I love popovers! I had no idea that they are easy to make! I love them enough to pay full price for the pan. In fact, I am willing to pay double price (at Tarzian) for the pan. Do you have a recipe to share. You have inspired me!
That picture makes me want popovers. Bad. Seriously almost enough to make me want to make some. YUM!
Those look delicious. Gosh, I haven't had popovers since I was a kid!
I've never had (or even heard of) popovers before, but I want to try them!
Can you make them in a regular muffin tin??
The strawberry butter sounds amazing! I'm going to make it this week. For sure. This week I made Gingerbread waffles and creme fraiche, the strawberry butter would've been yummy.
These popovers look tasty! I'll have to try them, too!
OHHHH that sounds good. i just saw a recipe for applebutter (in blogland somewhere oh found it http://www.infarrantlycreative.net/2009/11/how-to-make-apple-butter.html ) looks so easy too!
