Whole Wheat Popovers
I’ve never made a perfect popover until I tried “The Joy of Cooking” version. Popovers can be tricky and all the conditions to make them must be exact: the consistency of the batter has to be not thicker than whipping cream, the temperature of the ingredients should be at room temperature and the oven very hot with all the heat coming from the bottom. I also floured the buttered tins to ease the removal of the popovers. The classic popover is made from white flour but I prefer the taste and health benefits from this whole wheat version. You can also add chopped herbs like parsley and thyme or spices of your choice for extra flavor. The English version of the popover (and probably its origin) is the Yorkshire Pudding, which isn’t a pudding as Americans would imagine but a similar recipe using hot beef roast drippings in the bottom of the tin.

Quick Whole Wheat Health Bread
My Quick Whole Wheat Health Bread was inspired and adapted from a Mayo Clinic Soda Bread recipe. I made some minor changes and I think I may have actually made the bread even “healthier” – if that’s possible! This loaf is really quick and easy to make – no kneading and rising since you don’t use yeast. I used yogurt instead of buttermilk and some Italian stone ground semi-whole wheat flours (for example Tuminia). And my final touch was a teaspoon of dry sour dough starter and protein powder. The result was a richly flavored and light loaf that slices perfectly. Continue reading
