Today while everyone was away I whipped up a batch of potato soup for dinner. And what goes best with potato soup? Popovers of course! Please tell me you’ve had popovers before. Please? They are so delicious. You need to a make a batch for dinner this week. Okay, maybe you need to bake two batches. One for you, and one for everyone else. Ha Ha Ha!

Recipe: How to Make Popovers
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place 1/2 a teaspoon butter in each popover cup, place in the oven to melt, and set aside.
In a medium bowl combine the eggs, milk, flour, and salt until you have a thin batter. Fill each popover cup 1/2 full with batter and bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. Then decrease the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve warm with a side of homemade jam or local honey.

Quick question, can you just use a muffin pan? Thanks 🙂
Mavis says
Hmm. I don’t know. A popover pan is about twice as deep as a muffin pan so I don’t know for sure. Sorry about that.

I was going to ask about the muffin pan as well 🙂 I was reading the recipe and it doesn’t say what to put into the pan (I’m sure it’s 1/2 tsp butter – but it just says 1/2 tsp)… Is the popover pan shallower and deeper or just deeper? They look yummy – I may have to get the special pan just to try them!
Angela says
I use a muffin pan to make my popovers, it works fairly well. They probably don’t turn out quite as lovely as using a true popover pan but they are still hollow inside and taste so good!
Mariana says
Hi Mavis, I only ate popovers in a restaurant and loved them. Ready to make some myself. As far as batter shall I just mix by hand or better to use a mixer? Any particular order of adding ingredients? Thanks

In the UK, these are known as Yorkshire Puddings and are part of a Sunday Roast!!
Quest says
Yes, that’s what I was thinking too 🙂

I googled popover pans versus muffin pans & came up with this…
If putting the link here is not permitted, I apologize…just delete it! But it says you can use muffin tins or even custard cups…just fill muffin pan 3/4 full and custard cups only 1/2 full…
Hope this helps!!
