Growing up, I used to get dragged to the mall with my mom and grandmother on a weekly basis! While I easily bored of shopping, I always looked forward to regular lunches at Neiman Marcus. Sure, the soup or salad or sandwich was great, but let’s be clear – I was there for the popovers!
This recipe is as close as I can get to those delicious, warm, airy popovers of my childhood.
Paired with homemade strawberry butter (recipe below), these are about as good as they get!
