Making these popovers were easy to make and they were really tasty. They were just like mini donuts at a fair but they were hollow and better. When we were making these it was really easy because there wasn’t much to do and we had plenty of time to do other things. We worked well together and we all made sure that we didn’t overmix it or do anything wrong. Something that we did that went and was fun was when we covered the popovers with butter then cinnamon and sugar. It was messy but it was pretty fun doing that part of the recipe. I was kind of disappointed when the popovers didn’t grow a lot in size like the ones in the picture. I thought our popovers weren't hollow at first because they were small but they were perfect which was good. When we made them I was scared that they'd collapsed but I'm glad that they were hollow and came out the way they did. I think that the only thing that we did wrong this time was that we dropped some batter on the muffin tins but we wiped that up before it went into the oven. In class I learned that you need to only grease the bottom so that they stick to the bottom and that you don’t grease the sides. I actually really liked these and I know my mom and my sister likes mini donuts so I think I'll make this for the home lab. This time though instead of putting the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and it getting messy I'm going to use a Ziploc bag to decrease the mess.
