Welcome to Mandarina Yum!

mmMy name is Ejona Varangu and I am a full time researcher in the telecommunication industry, and part time food blogger. I blog from a small apartment in Tirana, Albania, where I live with my better half and our two cats Weirdo and Pixel.

I started cooking in late 2013, when I decided to live alone, and I missed the great homemade dishes that my mum prepared, before that, I couldn’t even boil an egg by myself. Little by little I started experimenting with new ingredients and techniques and I loved every single minute of it. Find out more…

Directions

Remove the hot pan from the oven, and pour the batter into the cavities of the pan. Fill each cavity just over halfway full.
Bake the popovers for 5 mins at 220* and than lower the oven temperature to 180*. Be careful not to open or adjust the oven—until they are golden brown and very tall, 20 to 25 minutes.
