Some one should write a poem about the beauty of popovers. They deserve it. Great ible, thank you.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Popovers taste wonderful and smell good too. You should eat them in the morning, you should eat them at night, You should eat them under the covers with your favorite flashlight. --How is that?

[Ninzerbean]

Thank you for rising to the occasion! You are definitely not a half baked poet. How about for the last line "you will fall in love with them after just one bite"?

[BigAl67]

Excellent! Cheers! Roses are red, Violets are blue, Popovers taste wonderful and smell good too. You should eat them in the morning, you should eat them at night, you will fall in love with them after just one bite

You know what they say about two heads being better than one. Instructables proves that time after time when you read the comments after an instructable, there is even more stuff to learn. I love this place. I could live here.

So they're sort of a bread roll, but not quite? I'll have to try it sometime.
I imagine they'd be good with a few bits of sundried tomato, small pieces of parmesan cheese or pesto in the mix.
^{(Did that oven come off the flight deck of the Starship Enterprise?? ;¬)}

[BigAl67]

Ha! The oven is your basic GE oven. It's pretty new, a build in, but other than that nothing all that special. :)

[AndyGadget]

It looks like "Basic" has moved on a bit since we bought our cooker. It's got 7 knobs, 6 buttons and the display just tells the time and sets an on/off time for the oven.

[BigAl67]

Feel free to sprinkle some parmesan or fontina cheese on the top before baking. Some folks do that and it is good.

I'm a bit confused, are these a variation on the British Yorkshire pudding? Are they meant as a savoury or sweet dish. Try Yorkshire puddings, less ingredients same result! Just mix equal parts by volume of eggs milk and plain flour. Preheat your pans with a little oil at the highest possible heat in your oven until the oil just starts to smoke. When you pour the mix into the oil it should sizzle. Put back into the oven and about 30 minutes later brilliant massive Yorkies!

Ya know, I had Yorkshire pudding in of all places....York. It was much more mushy then these Popovers. These, if you let them bake, develop a nice hard crisp outside and actually crack when you open them. I also had Yorkshire pudding at Lowres Steak House in Chicago. They do a good impression of a Yorkshire pudding even though they are from the states. Theirs were also a bit mushy, much more like a crossiant than a Popover.

They are a variation on Yorkshire pudding. I'm not sure how they folks in the US started calling them popovers. Most likely a popular recipe renamed them.

[AndyGadget]

I thought that mix looked familiar, but from the pictures these seem to come out a bit 'breadier' than Yorkshires. I leave the Yorkshire puds to my (Cumbrian) wife. She does them in 6" tins and we have them with gravy as a starter before a roast dinner.

[dcole64]

I seem to remember that 'real' Yorkshire pudding required some beef fat. My mom used to make 'em when I was a kid. They were ALWAYS served with a roast. Ummmm...taking me back.....

[AndyGadget]

Dripping on toast with loads of the beef jelly the day after. Wonderful! I haven't had that in years and years and years. I'm having it next time we have beef and the doctor who keeps telling me to cut down on the cholesterol can go and boil his head!

It appears that no one has done an instructible on Yorkshire pudding, sounds like an opportunity for you or your wife to do one? I was going to have my wife and my mom each do an instructible on the same dish, but I didn't want to start that arms race.
