What is the secret to popovers?

The key to popovers is making sure all of your ingredients are room temperature, and that you preheat your pan! This will help to make sure your popovers get the signature "pop" that you want.

Are Yorkshire puddings and popovers the same thing?

Basically, yes. Yorkshire puddings are the original, and popovers are an Americanized Yorkshire pudding that uses butter instead of beef drippings. Yorkshire puddings are typically served alongside a Sunday roast, whereas popovers are more commonly paired with sweet things, like jams and butters.

What do you eat popovers with?

Popovers are great plain, with butter or apple butter, or alongside strawberry jam.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Popovers

1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 eggs, room temperature
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 tablespoon melted butter

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons melted butter

Equipment:

Popover pan

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400˚F / 205˚C. If you're using a standard popover tin, make sure the oven racks are far apart, as these will expand about 3 inches above the top of the popover tin.
Add flour, milk, eggs, melted butter and salt to a blender, and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides if the flour clumps to the sides of the blender. Let the batter sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Lightly grease your popover pan with a high-heat oil. Place popover pan or muffin tin into the oven for 5-10 minutes to preheat. Carefully remove the pan from the oven, then fill each tin halfway with batter.
Immediately return the popovers to the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the tops of each popover are golden brown. Do NOT open the oven door while the popovers are baking.
While the popovers are baking, mix together the cinnamon and sugar.
Remove the popovers from the pan and let them cool slightly. Brush each popover with melted butter (you won't need much – it should be a very thin coating), then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated. Enjoy warm.

Notes

If you don't have a popover pan, you can use a muffin tin instead! Just make sure not to fill past the halfway point of each muffin tin, and make sure the tin is well greased. Nonstick is best here.

Storage: store the popovers in an airtight container, and enjoy within 2-3 days.

You can also freeze these in an airtight container and enjoy within 3 to 6 months. To reheat, place them back in the popover pan and cook in a 350˚F until warmed through, about 10 minutes.

Make-ahead: You can make the batter the day/evening before baking these. Keep it in the refrigerator, then let it come to room temperature before baking.

Preheat the popover pan: Just like making sure the eggs and butter are at room temperature, preheating the popover pan will help create more early steam!
