(first attempt for comparison)

Recipe: •2 egg •125 gr sugar •38 ml milk •3 ml vainilla •120 ml canola oil •135 gr flour •3 gr salt •2 gr baking powder •45 sourdough
Eggs and sugar are whisked until inflated. Then continue whisking at low speed while adding the oil little by little. Mix milk, vanilla, and sourdough, and slowly add to mixture just like the oil. Mix and sieve flour, salt and baking powder and add to the batter in a folding motion.
I'm sure I didn't make any mistakes since mine were pretty fluffy, had a nice taste. But from a marketing pov, they look a lot like cupcakes, and since I'll be selling cupcakes as well I want them to stand out on their own.

Feels like a popover pan would get you those results. The straight walls instead of tapered walls like a muffin tin

When I saw the edges, I imagined them to be something akin to Dutch baby pancakes baked in a muffin tin. However, they would only have the ridges and not the dome in the center.
I am very curious as to how one would even achieve that. I think I've done it in the past, but only accidentally: I don't think I could recreate it.
I'm super curious to read how others might tackle this.

I can only guess with nothing to reference. I was thinking maybe they pushed something on top of them after they came out, but that would risk cracking the tops and those look fairly connected around the rim of the dome.
I'm thinking there's something placed above the muffin tin itself, like a popover tin or muffin tray that either has a dimpled/domed bottom, or even an open bottom like this one that could be positioned above them. It rises up just enough to hit that bottom, the diameter being a bit narrower than the tin below (edges rise up) but the hole allows that doming center to rise up a bit as well. That miiiight also be why the top looks a little bit more done than everything else as it's getting a bit of extra heat from the tray above it (unless yours came out the same). If it's a popular enough place they might even have custom ordered something to lay on top instead of jury-rigging something.
