Lemon Popovers with Pecan Honey Butter image

My mom passed this recipe down to me many years ago. We love the delicate lemon flavor with the pecan honey butter. The popovers are a nice addition to any dinner, but they're especially delicious at breakfast with a bowl of fruit and yogurt. -Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas
