What is the difference between a Yorkshire pudding and a popover?

What do you eat with popovers?

Popovers are light and airy and can be served with almost any meal. They are perfect with all kinds of sweet or savory toppings or enjoyed just with butter. I love them with pot roast, using the popover to dip in the gravy. Or have them with tea with some jam…it’s a classic way to serve them.

Popover pans are distinguished from regular muffin tins by their deep, steep-sided wells. This forces the batter upwards and results in a popover with a puffy dome and crispy sides. Many popover pans have the cups welded to a wire rack. While this looks odd, it promotes even circulation of air and heat around the tins.

What is the difference between a Dutch baby and Yorkshire pudding?

A Dutch baby is very similar to a Yorkshire pudding, with a few differences: the Yorkshire pudding is more likely to be baked in individual servings, the pan is usually greased with beef drippings, and the result is rarely sweet. Dutch babies are larger, use butter rather than beef fat, and are frequently sweet.

How do you keep popovers from falling down?

Popovers are best served immediately. They will, unfortunately, begin to collapse after a few minutes outside of the oven. One way to help prevent this is to puncture the top and/or side of the popover with the tip of a small, sharp knife to help release some of the steam trapped inside.
