A fluffy muffin-like treat that will be gone in a ‘pop’

One of my favorite comfort foods is the popover. Never heard of it before? You’re not alone. Popovers are a unique type of muffin. They are a delicious and homey treat that is light and fluffy and perfect when drizzled with honey.
They are simple to make, and are best served right out of the oven. You can make them in custard cups or muffin tins. The batter is simple, but the way you bake them is what makes them special. The melted butter in the bottom of the muffin tin is what allows the batter to puff up. The top then turns golden and a bit crisp. When you “pop” them out, they are naturally hollow and that is where the honey goes.
Can you tell I’m dreaming about them already? Make a meal special with these tasty little goodies, and don’t be surprised if they are gone in a “pop.”
