    With only 4 ingredients, Popovers have an airy, puffy and custard like interior that will compliment any breakfast lunch, or dinner.  Popovers can be sprinkled with cinnamon sugar for a touch of sweet or flavored with black pepper and Gruyere for a savory addition to a your table.  Being so versatile, they will replace a standard muffin, biscuit, bread or donuts.  A popover pan is necessary in order to create a sky-high puff and a crisp shell that will come out perfect every time.popover 1
