Not satisfied with the structural properties of this year’s Christmas popovers, Jeanine enlisted Maya’s help to try new recipe refinements and variations in cooking temperature and time. The pair spent hours in the effort and finally produced what I, an official taste tester, deem to be the best popovers ever. Once the optimal outcome was achieved, Maya documented every aspect of the formulation and process. Regretably, she rejected my suggestion to name these creations – Momayas, a concatenation of “mom” and “Maya.”
