muffinlike (comparative more muffinlike, superlative most muffinlike)

    • 2009 March 15, Amanda Hesser, “1966: Maida Heatter’s Popovers”, in New York Times[1]:
      While the mixture is very similar to crepe batter, when you confine it to deep, narrow, muffinlike molds, the surface of the batter sets and the air is trapped, so that the pastry has nowhere to go but up and out, creating a gravity-defying bubble.
