Every Sunday I always make a special brunch for Nathan and I and it is usually something a little bit naughty, but oh so nice. Whilst looking for inspiration I came across a recipe in Susan Branch’s book Heart Of The Home: Notes From A Vineyard Kitchen for Popovers which to my American friends are a familiar breakfast and brunch food. However a hop, skip and a jump across the pond we eat something similar with our Sunday roast beef, the Yorkshire pudding! The recipe suggests serving them with jam or marmalade which made them more appealing.
At this stage the recipe advises that the tops need to be sliced into and then they need to be put back into the oven for another five minutes. Next time I will just pierce the tops instead of slicing into them so the steam will still escape, but they will be more attractive
I should never have doubted Susan and our American chums, after all they know a thing or two about delicious breakfasts that sound as though they should be a disaster, but are actually a match made in culinary heaven – American pancakes, smoked streaky bacon and unctuous maple syrup…mmm I know what we are having for Sunday brunch next week!
This evening I am attending an exclusive sewing event at the Cath Kidston shop in Winchester and I am jolly excited! I will be back here later in the week to tell you all about it.
I've always wondered about these Morwenna! So happy you made them and they look YUMMY! I remember them fron Little House, they used to have them for special breakfasts! Hope you had a wonderful weekend xoxo
Popovers are one of my favorite foods. So eggy and delicious! Glad you made them and like them!
xoxo
oooh. they do look like yorkshires. Mind you, with that particular jam anything would be fabulous! :o)
can't wait to read more about the Cath thing, you lucky thing. We don't have a Cath branch here, so wish we did.
have fun xxx
Love it Morwenna—I haven't made them myself but now I'm definitely going to give it a go! I'm very excited about your sewing event at Cath Kidston!! I hope you will be able to take some pictures and share lots!! I just received their most recent catalog and I'm a flitter with what to order!! I love to touch, feel, see—I so wish we had a store here!!
Thank you for a wonderful post!!

I have missed your sweet posts, sweetie. You have made my day!!! The popovers look delicious and baked to perfection! We don't have a Cath Kidston near here : ( I will be looking forward to hearing all about the event and if you get lots of sewing ideas!! Working on purses for summer here now : ) Sending lots of love and hugs, Sherry xxx
Those look deeeee-licious!
Mmm… those look delicious (everything in Susan Branch's books do!)
I think it's so funny, on account of myself being American, that our traditional breakfasts are as foreign to you as yours are to me! 🙂 But they're all as equally mouth-watering, without a doubt!
P.S.- I would do anything to go to that Cath Kidston sewing workshop with you! I absolutely love her products ♥
Oh Morwenna, your popovers look fabulous and so tempting! Wish I could have a warm one with some jam or butter! I always love your posts and look forward to reading them. Like a drop of sunshine in my day!!
Hope you had lots of fun at the Cath Kidston event. As you probably know, we don't have any Cath Kidston stores here in Canada. I just LOVE her stuff & first heard about the store through you. I can't wait to hear more about your evening! Will stay tuned…xoxo
Beautiful, I have just eaten my cornflakes, and they look sooooo delicious. I feel the need to extend my waistline, just a little.
Mouth watering.
