Popovers have become trendy lately, and that’s good, since they yummy and are very easy to make. They go well with soups and salads, and are great as a bread with dinner; they also make great breakfast breads with lots of butter and jam or honey. This version of Best Ever Popovers is quickly made in the blender, which saves time, and they puff just as well as those made in a mixer with several steps. They can easily be mixed and ready to bake in about 10 minutes, which is very little hands-on time for something this good.
