About

Popovers are also known as Laplanders, Bouncing Babies and Breakfast Puffs. The batter takes only a few minutes to prepare and they come out of the oven all puffed up – crisp and brown on the outside and soft inside. They are as delightful to eat as they are to look at. Serve them hot for breakfast with butter and jam.
