I'm looking for a recipe for a certain kind of food that I used to get
as a child. Regrettably I can't recall the name, and anyone that would
know is not available to ask. I was hoping that someone here would have
an idea of what it is, and hopefully a recipe.
It was cooked in a normal muffin pan. When it came out of the oven, it
would be hollow, and fluffy. The texture was not crumbly, but smoother.
I'm sorry I can't be more specific.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you might be thinking of popovers. Does that sound right?

cook in a day.

Pte à choux ... cream puff pastry baked in muffin pans is quite
common.

It sounds like a popover.

What you describe sounds very much like popovers.

They're best served hot. I don't think they're supposed to sit around. At
least they don't when I make 'em.

Good luck,

The recipe for popovers is almost identical to Yorkshire pudding, except
that yorkies are done in a large pan and popovers are cooked in muffin
tins. I usually do my yorkies in muffin tins, so I guess I am technically
making popovers.

If it was not sweet, but kind of eggy, it was definitely a popover.
