Popovers are the American version of Yorkshire puddings. A popover is a light, hollow roll made from an egg batter.
Popover Pizza is a quick and easy dish where the bottom crust for the pizza is a golden popover on top.
Popover Pizza is shown here with Marinated Mixed Vegetable Salad (tomorrow’s recipe!) Very nice the first day, leftover Popover Pizza makes for great lunches.
