Muffin Pan Popovers

I have wanted to try popovers in a muffin pan for quite some time now, and I am glad I finally succeeded to give them a try. Yes, you can have popovers in a muffin pan, no need to buy a special pan just to bake popovers.

Popovers are light and airy, with a crispy exterior, a a great treat for breakfast alongside butter and jam. You can also make them savory and leave out the vanilla and sugar and ad some cheese for extra flavor. Either sweet or savory, popovers are a delightful treat and best to be served right after you take them out of the oven.

The recipe is really easy, with only a few ingredients you already have in the house. The batter is similar to crepes, or dutch oven baby pancakes. The batter is divided into muffin cups and baked until puffed and golden and absolutely irresistible. Hope you will try these out, and enjoy!
