A pop-over is simply a light roll made from egg batter. The name comes from the fact that the batter “pops” over the top of the pan while baking. They can either be served sweet or savoury like this recipe from Smyth + The Loyalist. Smyth + The Loyalist is a must visit in Chicago. The dual-concept restaurant features a tasting menu restaurant on the first floor and a bar/lounge just below it. It is a restaurant known for creative flavours. The pop-over is the perfect vehicle for dipping their famous sauces in.
