On a whim, I deci ded I would make another batch and try baking them in muffin cups. . .just to see w hat would happen. Amazingly, they turned out wonderful - high, moist, golden little domes, a cros s between popovers and pancakes. My daughter calls them 'popcakes'. "Curious, I went a step further and tried a variation with the popcakes, replac ing several tablespoons of flour with an equal amount of masa harina. =============== Reply 7 of Note 1 ============== Board: FOOD BB Topic: FOOD SOFTWARE Subject: Z-MM BM BREADS 2 99 To: BGMB90B ELAINE RADIS Date: 09/25 From: BGMB90B ELA INE RADIS Time: 5:48 AM MM: HOT CORN BREAD DRESSING
