Good Old Southern Popovers (Southern Living 1979)

Well, when I saw the recipe for Good Old Southern Popovers, it intrigued me.  A roll - with no yeast.  I am not a yeast bread maker.  I want to be, but I'm just not daring enough I guess.  I tried one yeast bread recipe from Southern Living 1979 while we were at the beach.  I didn't even report out on it, because I just wasn't impressed.  I know I shouldn't give up so easily, but I'm always worried that I'll get distracted and forget to take care of the dough.  Maybe one day life will settle down a little, and I'll have time to devote to a yeast bread...  Nah. 

Back to the popovers.  Little Miss helped me with this recipe.  She wanted to wear her apron and thought I needed to wear mine, too.  No pictures of that, sorry!  Little Miss really loved being a "cooker".  Anyway, this recipe was quite easy. But, I was very concerned over the temperature of and length of time in the oven.  However, not being a popover expert, I decided I'd stick to the recipe.

I wish I'd listened to my little inner voice on this one.  The popovers were WAY over done, as you can see, and I even took them out of the oven a little early.

I'd like to try it again, just because the recipe was easy, but I will definitely decrease the time in the oven to closer to 20 minutes for the first bake with the oven down to 400F.  If / when I do that, I'll let you know the results.
