Popovers

Comments are Disabled

Popovers are one of those recipes that feel fancy but are surprisingly easy to make. Light, airy, and golden, they puff up beautifully in the oven and are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a savory appetizer. I first made them when I wanted a fun addition to a weekend brunch, and I was amazed at how simple the ingredients are. The outside gets crispy while the inside stays soft and tender, and you can enjoy them with butter, jam, or even a creamy sauce.
