Popovers | Yorkshire Puddings

by Dawn T in Rouxbe Recipes

Popovers are similar to Yorkshire puddings only they use butter instead of beef fat, making them lighter and more versatile.

Make Ahead Popovers/Yorkshire Puddings

It is really good to know that these can be made a day ahead. I never would have thought to do that so this will certainly make special roast beef dinners easier to prepare. Also never thought to have them for breakfast - thanks for the info:)

Worked out super

I made these first thing in the morning and took them out of the muffin tins to cool and covered with a clean tea towel. Then I reheated them on a cookie sheet and they were very hot within the 3 minutes and tasted as if they were just freshly baked. What a great time saver and they were delicious! When I first looked at the 4 3/4 oz of flour I was mentally thinking over half cup. That did not seem right so I weighed the flour and it ended up being over a cup. It seems I am still mentally challenged on volume and weight measures:)

Re: Worked Out Super

Glad to hear they worked out well for you Liz. I also made these on Christmas day, along with our prime rib...I have to say the 4 1/2 oz totally threw me for a loop as well :-)

Unfortunately, I was in a remote cabin so I did not have the internet to do any conversions...but thankfully I had "texting" ability so I was able to text Kimberley in Edmonton and she figured out that it was about 1 cup + about a tbsp. of flour - thank goodness for friends and modern technology hey!

muffin tin vs ramekins

I made these a month ago using a muffin tin. I had some leftover batter so put that into a couple 4 oz ramekins. The muffin tin popovers didn't really pop up much but the ramekins turned out with a beautiful high popped dome. They seemed lighter as well while the ones in the muffin tin seemed a bit tough. I think I got more batter into the ramekins than the muffin cups. Then looked for a popover pan and can't find one anywhere. So,,, any idea why the muffin tin ones didn't turn out and what can I do to fix that?

RE: Muffin Tin vs. Ramekins

If everything was the same in both cases then I am not sure why your muffin tin ones did not turn out well for you. I made these last week using a regular muffin tin and they popped up nicely. I would say try it again or try using another muffin tin. Cheers!

Popover Pans

I love my popover pans. For those of you who are looking, I bought mine at Williams Sonoma-go in the store or order online. They have a large size, which makes 6 and a smaller size which makes 12. I have two pans of each. I prefer the smaller size. I easily make 12, 24 or 48 depending on the crowd. My family loves them. I also serve these with Prime Rib, but the children often pull out the butter, jam and honey as if I was serving breakfast. These are easy and elegant!
