I'm not sure how it started but my family has a tradition of making pop-overs on Christmas morning. I have carried this tradition on with my husband with my mom's pop-over recipe and a jumbo pan purchased for us. However, when we were recently in Ohio we saw a Griswold cast iron mini pop-over pan that was too cute to pass up. A different pan we got actually had a cast iron pop-over recipe on it too. It might not have been Christmas but last Sunday I had to try out both the recipe and the mini cast iron pan. Turned out great! I always have problems with my pop-overs rising so they look somewhat flat in my picture but I believe that's mainly due to our elevation (+6,500 ft). Still taste good! I love popovers with just plain butter, but they are also great opened up and covered with jam.
Old Cast Iron Pop-over Recipe:
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 425*. Grease pop-over pan with butter and set aside. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and beat until smooth. Heat pan in oven and remove. Fill warm pans slightly less than half-full. Bake about 35 minutes.
