Yes – same batter but baked in muffin pans, so there’s more crust and less of the saggy middle.
BTW I’ve been googling (Googling?) blueberry popovers, and the basic idea seems to be to add some sugar and some fresh or frozen blueberries to the standard recipe (which, for a dozen popovers, is 2 eggs, a cup of milk, a cup of flour, and a little salt, baked in a hot oven for ten minutes and then turned down to medium heat for half an hour. And Don’t Open The Oven till they’re done, or they’ll collapse.)

Did you know that you can get rose croissants in Paris?
That “chocolate croissants’ aren’t actually that , they’re called “pain au chocolate” (literally chocolate bread –even though it’s a croissant dough)?
That stale ones can be used to make an unbelievably delicious bread pudding (we make it in provence with figs, fig jam and goat cheese –savory sweet).
