Straight out of the oven, popovers are absolutely irresistible. They’re warm, doughy, light and fluffy and go perfectly with any meal of the day from breakfast to dessert.
This recipe is super basic but totally customizable. You can add dried herbs or cheese to the batter to switch up the flavor.
Serve them hot with flavored butter. They pair perfectly with eggs for breakfast or brushed with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar for dessert.
