Since yesterday night, I was thinking of something to make very quickly for breakfast. For the last few days we have been gorging on Costco muffins, Croissants ( I loved these Croissants but I dont like the texture of the ones made from the frozen dough. But I like the dotted line son it to assist shaping) and all that fatty stuff. From the deep pockets of memory, this morning I recalled Popovers. In the time I boiled the milk-tea, I got the batter done. So no additional time incurred.
While making the batter I was thinking that sponge cake is not the first recipe I made that uses milk. I was thinking about the difference between a popover and a sponge cake. Stuff like this seems to be exactly what is taught in 'School and home cooking'. This book does call a sponge cake a fatless cake.
This time I did feel that popovers are bland. Thats not to take away the marvel of their lightness. But from now on I will add something in them for flavour.
Remember the story of 'Strength in Unity' where a father shows that sticks when bundled are unbreakable. How ironic that a stick that is used to 'break' is used in this example. I evoked that example of individual pieces forming something to show that study and exercise of different recipes forms the bundle of cooking science.
