My husband and I visited the Jordon Pondhouse in Acadia National Park 3 times. The first 2 times we were blown away by their famous popovers. The last time, in September 2021, we were underwhelmed to say the least. They were hot and poofy, but the flavor was bland and they were overly browned. We had waited over an hour to get a table and paid $11.50 each for 2 popovers and weak blueberry iced tea. We decided that I would attempt to make popovers at home to hopefully make up for this disappointing experience. I first tried the recipe posted in the waiting room for the Jordon Pondhouse. It said to combine 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 cups milk and 2 eggs yolks, then to beat the whites of the 2 eggs and mix it all together. Then it said to heat the pan with butter in it and bake the popovers in a "hot oven." Since that wasn't very specific, I looked at a few popovers recipes online. I used the proportions from the old recipe with the cooking instructions I found online here https://www.throughherlookingglass.com/wprm_print/24081 The popovers didn't pop at all! I did more research and noticed that most recipes called for more eggs. There were several blog posts that referred to the need for the ingredients to be room temperature. So armed with all this information and one failed experiment, I tried again and voila! Perfect popovers!
