NOTES : From the cookbook notes:

These popover-like baked pancakes were a specialty of the old-time
Manca Restaurant. A good way of serving them is to sandwich them
with jam, and if you must, butter.


From my notes:

I find the secret the these is unbridled use of Pam, or some other
cooking spray on the pie plates instead of butter. If they don't
have a slik surface, they will get stuck and just sit in the pan.
