Orange Nutmeg Popover Rolls

It has snowed twice since last week's blizzard. It's actually currently snowing in NYC. Winter has definitely decided to stay around. However, I didn't get a snow day from work. No snow day from work = no time to bake.
 
Fear not! I still have something to post! I made these rolls last week during the blizzard along with the Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies. My kitchen was THE PLACE TO BE during winter storm Juno. Just saying.
 
I was excited about these rolls because I love popovers. Also, I was nervous about using yeast. Isn't that silly? I've used yeast many times before and have baked lovely baked goods with yeast and yet I'm always nervous about using it. Probably because yeast is so finicky.
 
This recipe yielded more of a dinner roll than a popover. When I hear "popover" I think of something airy and eggy. This recipe yielded just a normal dinner roll with the added benefits of nutmeg, orange, cinnamon, and sugar flavors.
 
If you're intrigued by the combo or want a twist on the normal dinner roll, by all means feel free to try your hand at this roll. But if you want something more extraordinary, you can skip making this recipe.

Clementine Weekend - Clementine Popovers

Aren't popovers lovely? One of my favorite places to have brunch in the city is Popover Cafe where they serve monster popovers with almost every dish. Yum!

Well, today I made popovers with some clementine zest in them. Um, hello! SUPER yummy ESPECIALLY with some raspberry jam. Recipe is pretty easy too! Check it out.
Clementine Popovers (basic popover recipe from my Mom's Best Recipe Book)
3 eggs
1 C milk
3 T butter or margarine, melted
1 C flour
1/2 t salt
zest from 1 clementine

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease muffin pan well. In large bowl with mixer at low speed, beat eggs until frothy; beat in milk and butter until blended. Beat in flour and salt. Stir in clementine zest. Fill each muffin cup 1/4-1/3 full with the batter. Bake 30 minutes; then quickly make a small slit in top of each popover to let out steam; bake 8 minutes longer. Immediately remove popovers from pan and serve.
