I love vintage recipes, don’t you? The ones handed down from generation to generation, or dog-eared in yellowed cookbooks with the pages falling out from years and years of time spent in the kitchen, making a meal for our loved ones.
Of course, we cook for our families and eat for nourishment, but I like to think that those I am cooking for can taste the love I put in, too. I love knowing where my food comes from, too. I love cooking with simple ingredients. That’s another reason why those tried and true vintage recipes are perfect. They didn’t have a lot of fluff… things were pretty basic. A lot of what was in them were things that were grown or raised, and easy to come by.
Like these Old Fashioned Pop Overs. They are amazing, and quite impressive to look at, but they are simple to make and only take basic items most kitchens have on hand all of the time, eggs, milk, flour, butter, salt and a pinch of sugar.
You can bake them in a pop over pan, like I have here, but don’t run out and buy one if you have custard cups, you can make those work, too.
I used my favorite flour to make these Pop Overs I am sharing with you today, Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose White Flour. It’s so versatile and everything I make with it turns out perfect every time.
Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached White Flour is freshly milled from Organic hard red wheat. Both the bran and the germ have been removed leaving the endosperm that is made into white flour. It is not enriched with any additives. This is the same high protein flour used by professional bakers and produces high, well-textured loaves of bread equally as well as it produces light, airy baked goods. This kitchen staple is perfect for all of your baking needs.

I set out to make these pop overs as a trial run for my Easter dinner. I host Easter every year at my house.
*This is my Grandma, myself and my husband (then fiance) in 1991 at my Mom’s house for Easter.*
Growing up, it was that way for my Mom, too. We celebrated all of the holidays at my Grandma’s, but Easter was always put on by my Mom. When my husband and I bought our first home, my Mom said to me, “now you can have Easter!” It’s been that way ever since.
*Here is a peek at our Easter dinner table in 2014 – I like to change up the theme and the colors every year. *
Every year for Easter, we have the same main dishes, I make Polish Sausage and Sauerkraut, like my Grandma always made it, and we have a ham. I switch up the sides and the desserts from year to year, but I like to make things that go well with my main dish. To me, something that always goes perfectly with ham is cherries. I love the flavors of those two things together. So I set out to make a cherry butter that would work with these pop overs and our ham!
*hint: make these pop overs and fill them with chicken and vegetables for a fun alternative to pot pie*
Cherry butter couldn’t be simpler to make, again only a couple of simple ingredients, and you have an alternative to plain butter, which is just a little sweet and great on warm popovers or rolls.
These pop overs are amazing, look at how huge they are! They turn out light and airy like this EVERY time I make them with Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached White Flour.

You give the ingredients for Cherry Butter but no where do I see the recipe. Can you post the recipe as the butter looks great. Thanks
That recipe was somehow lost. I just updated my website with the Whipped Cherry Butter Recipe. You can find it right here.
How do you make the cherry butter?
There was a weird glitch and that recipe was lost. I just re-did the recipe on its very own page: Whipped Cherry Butter
