Lemon Ricotta Cupcakes

http://littleprincetreats.blogspot.com/2008/06/so-sunday-i-had-desire-to-make-some.html

I had plenty of lemons on hand, and found this recipe for raspberry lemon ricotta cupcakes. I decided to omit the raspberries but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I was disappointed in the texture of the cupcakes. They had lots of tunnels and air pockets, and tasted very chewy. I think they were overmixed and overdone. Bummer! The flavor was fantastic, but I just need to get the texture right.

Cold Oven Popovers

Link to Recipe

I was missing popovers from my favorite breakfast place in NYC, so I decided to try making them at home. I used muffin tins and followed the recipe exactly. Unfortunately, by the time the tops were golden brown, the bottom of the popovers were black. My husband and I cut off the tops and ate them with cinnamon-honey butter. At least the butter was a hit! Next time I will try a traditional popover recipe which involves reducing the oven temperature halfway through baking.
