Sheesh, I've just found a handful of comments that came in last month that somehow I missed. I'm sorry, Nishta! The answer, of course, is YES! Both to a day in the kitchen together and a batch of these popovers made especially for you. xo.

someday we'll spend a whole day in a kitchen together & you'll make these for me, right?

I love, love, love popovers & spiced cider may have to happen this weekend, before I give alcohol up for Lent! xx

Hi, Nithya. I'm so glad you're back. From where I sit, wrapped up in wool socks and a sweater, that heat sounds pretty darn nice. Happy Monday to you!

Hey Jess! I'm afraid I haven't visited for a while, but the good part is now that I'm here I have a whole bunch of your posts to read up.

We've only begun discovering donuts here in India, there's a shop near where I live that sells donuts that ooze ganache. These popovers sound simply divine, I can't wait to make them the next time I go home. The cider too! Though it's about 30 degrees C here, I have a suspicion it'll still go down pretty well here.

Absolutely, Rosiecat. One extra-strong cider coming up. I'm sorry to hear that it's been a rough week, and I hope that things are looking up. (About the photos - thanks! I was intent on capturing that steam.)

my spatula - Thank you, and yes, yes, dive away! You won't be sorry.

lovely shots! i was gawking at the popovers when david posted them. you've just confirmed i need to dive in and give them a go.

2010-02-06T21:24:43.476-05:00

Oh my, after the week I've had I could use a spiked cider! Can I get a double shot of the booze in mine, please? Jess, I love the cider photos in this post--lovely and warm, just like the cider.

Hope your weekend is treating you well! xo

Liz - It's brilliant, isn't it? Thank goodness for David Lebovitz. Maida Heatter's original recipe was indeed for savory popovers. I would definitely pass on the gravy with these!

cdelphine - We were actually supposed to be in Maryland this weekend, but our flight was cancelled because of the snow! From the pictures I've seen, it looks like you got quite the dump. That's popover and cider weather, for sure.

Char - Oh no. At least we found out that we were grounded before we showed up at the airport. Wishing you safe and speedy travels. (And some popovers and cider, too.)

Amy - Hi! I'm just getting started with this book, so I'd be curious to hear which recipes are your favorites. I can't wait for you to try these popovers.

Molly - Yes, yes! Top of the list. And I can assure you that they go very well with snow.

Megan - Because if a snowstorm were not in the way, you'd be here, right? I think the real problem is all of those pesky states in the way. Happy weekend to you, too.

Linda - Thanks for all of your kind words, and for contributing to our Haiti relief effort. I still can't believe that Julie managed to get this project off the ground so quickly. It's such an honor to be a part of something like this, alongside other bloggers whose work I admire. And then to know that readers of this little blog of mine will have it in their hands... Wow. So cool.

And thanks for your help in testing the olive oil citrus cake. I hope it fares well in the freezer. Either way, I'll look forward to hearing how it goes. Thank you!

diva - That's actually one of the things that I love about both of these recipes: I usually have all of the ingredients on hand. Enjoy!

Sean - Hmmm, well, perhaps you could scare up a few ghosts to join you for a mug?

Kate - Sharing is overrated sometimes. Especially when there are popovers on the table. I think a double batch is in order, one for the guys, and one for you.

2010-02-06T14:33:54.286-05:00

I might do this, it certainly sounds delicious enough, but I would have to wait for a weekend alone without the guys around because I know that dunked in butter and a snowfall of cinnamon sugar, those popovers would all just about dance themselves into my mouth with nary a crumb to share. Not a bad thing. Once. Maybe twice.

I love cider, though I usually only drink it around Halloween, there something about cider and haunted houses that go so well together.

2010-02-06T03:39:33.339-05:00

I love a spiced mulled cider. Perfect for when it's cold and bleary outside! Thanks for the recipe. I've actually got all the stuff needed for it :)

O.M.G. I am coming over right. now. for this combo. (Although there might be a snowstorm in the way...) Happy weekend!

2010-02-05T16:59:24.399-05:00

Well now. I noticed David's mention, and bookmarked it in my brain, as popovers are already a hands-down, knock-out fave around here. But two mentions might bump this one to the TRY IMMEDIATELY!!! No, sooner... List. I do hope they go well with snow, also.

2010-02-05T16:53:40.210-05:00

I have had this book for years and love it. Made many recipes from this and her Chocolate Dessert Book as well. How could I have possibly missed this recipe???? I know what's on my baking list now!!

with the cider and popovers i might can survive the thought that i may be sitting in an airport on Sunday.

2010-02-05T14:11:02.025-05:00

oh goodness yes, I have not stopped thinking about those popovers since David posted the recipe. With this yucky weather (in Md), they are so getting made some time this weekend.

2010-02-05T13:53:10.247-05:00

What a decadent winter treat. I love popovers and never thought about them covered in sugar (covered in some kind of gravy was usually the norm). Thanks for sharing the link, the recipe, and a future book idea!
