Popovers

Earlier today, u/Braiseitall's posted Nun's Puffs, which looked very close to the Popover recipe I've been making for years. I decided it had been too long since I made them & decided to whip up a batch & have breakfast for dinner!

Popovers

2 large eggs, room temperature

3/4 cups milk , lukewarm (skim is fine)

1/2 teaspoon table salt

3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour

2 tablespoons butter, melted

(The photo is of a double batch)

Use a blender to mix the milk & eggs until smooth

Add flour to blender & mix until incorporated

Add melted butter & salt. Mix until frothy.

Let stand for 15 minutes while preheating the oven. Batter will be very runny, the consistency of buttermilk.

Arrange oven racks so one is at the bottom 1/4 of the oven & the other is at the highest level. Place a empty baking sheet on the top rack (this will protect the top of the popovers from the heating coils)

Preheat oven to 450F

I use a 6 well Popover pan. Muffin pans will work but don't give the same height when cooked.

Grease the pans. Butter will add flavor, but is messy to do with the narrow deep pans. I typically just use cooking spray.

Stir the batter to re-mix and fill each well 2/3 full with batter.

Put the pan into the bottom rack of the oven & bake for 20 minutes.

After initial bake, lower oven temp to 350F and bake for another 10 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN!

After 10 minutes at lower temperature, remove from oven & pierce the tops of each popover to allow the steam to vent.

In the oven the liquid in the batter will boil & the steam will puff up the popover. When cooked the outside should be crispy & the interior should be airy, eggy and chewy. Popovers are best eaten right out of the oven. They are very good for the first hour or so, after that as they cool they can become hard & rubbery. In my family these are pretty much dumped out of the trays into a basked & immediately carried to the breakfast table.

We eat them with honey, butter, and jam.

This Humble Bundle was scheduled to end last week but it looks like it was extended. Now it ends on May 7th.

The City at the Center of the World Humble Bundle

This bundle dropped a couple of weeks ago but the threads tend to drift off the main page in the subreddit after a couple of days, so this is your reminder that it's happening!

Per usual this bundle includes a *LOT* of content at a very steep discount. At a basic level it has everything you need to get started. The "Beginner Box" which is basically a tutorial for the system, 5 of the 6 Core Rulebooks (The latest, Remastered versions), and several Lost Omens books to get you up to speed with the official setting. The 6th Core Rulebook which isn't included is still pretty new and is just more monsters so while it's nice you don't need it if you are new to the system. If you have bought any previous Pathfinder 2e Bundles there is some overlap but most of this content haven't hasn't been seen previously in Bundle form.

The big draws are all at the $30 level. The most overall useful item is the NPC Core. Basically a "monster book" for humanoid intelligent enemies & NPCs. City Guards, Hunters, Bandits, Generals, Court Jesters, Cult Leaders, that sort of thing.

After that we get the Absalom focused part of the bundle, including the 6 part Agents of Edgewatch Adventure Path, which runs from lvl 1-20 and assumes the PCs are all members of the Absalom City Watch/Police. To support the AP we also get the LO: Absalom book in a bundle for the first time, basically a giant guide (400 pages!) to the giant city. I really can't emphasize enough how enormous the setting book for the city is. It spends 120 pages on prominent local NPCs, with each getting 2-4 paragraphs & that is less than a third of the page count.

Finally at the $45 level includes all the digital content and a Physical hardcover copy of "NPC Core" which is normally $70 all by itself. (But you will need to pay shipping!)

Sadly, no Foundry Modules this time out. The included Adventure Path came out before those were regular products & so "Agents" never got one.

It's worth remembering that all the Core Books cost $30/each in PDF form normally so getting 5 of them for $30 is an amazing deal all by itself before you add in the Absalom Book, the Adventure Path, or any of the mini-adventures or maps.

$45 Level - This includes a Physical Item
Everything in the $5, $20, and $30 levels plus:

  • Pathfinder NPC Core - 240 page Hardcover book, *First time in a Humble Bundle. (But see the shipping warning below!)

FAQ:

  • WARNING: The $45 price tag doesn't include shipping! Within the US it will only be a few dollars but costs get murderous internationally so be careful if you don't live in North America. If you don't want to deal with that, you will need to stick to the Digital Only levels. The PDF version of the Hardcover book is included at the $30 level.
  • When you purchase the Bundle you will get a code that you enter at https://store.paizo.com/redemption. This will fill your Paizo.com cart with the digital purchases but set the price to $0. You purchase it for $0 and then everything is added to your digital library where you can download it normally.
  • The bundle is "all or nothing", you can't break it up or swap out books. If you already own something from the Bundle it won't appear twice in your library.
  • These are all DRM-Free PDFs that will be downloaded direct from Paizo.com. No subscriptions or special viewers needed (you do need a Paizo.com account). Paizo has dropped their earlier practice of watermarking the PDFs with your name & email. These are *completely* DRM free.
  • For folks worrying about the remaster, the included "Core Books" are all the currently released remastered core rules. The Adventure Path & many of the mini-adventures are Pre-Remaster 2nd edition content. They are 95% compatible with the Remaster, the main differences are spells, monsters & terms that were renamed during the Remaster. It takes very little adjustment to use them with the current rules and the old versions are all still up on Archives of Nethys if you prefer.
  • The various Map books are digital only, consisting of a mix of PDFs and JPG copies of the physical maps Paizo Publishes. You can print them out on your own but most people seem to use them in various VTTs.
  • Remember to adjust the donation sliders if you do buy. The proceeds are split between Paizo, the Charity (Comic Books for Kids), and Humblebundle.com but you are free to adjust the ratios of who gets what from your purchase.
