What can I substitute for a popover pan?
A popover pan will give you popovers with a taller base and a more defined “mushroom” top, but a muffin pan will bake popovers just fine. And speaking of muffin pans, feel free to use a jumbo Texas muffin pan for six extra-large popovers; bake them for the same amount of time as standard-size popovers.
Can you use muffin liners for popovers?
Generously grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan all over (including the areas around the cups) with unsalted butter. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and salt until the mixture is well combined. Add the flour and continue whisking until the mixture is frothy. (There shouldn’t be any large lumps.)
Why did my popovers not pop?
Preheat the oven to 425 with the pan preheating in the oven. When baking don’t open it again until they’re done. If you open the oven door the temperature inside can drop too quickly and the popovers will not rise properly. Whip the batter up really airy right before you add it to the pan they’ll rise extra high.
Why are my popovers not popping?
If you are having problems with popovers not popping, try decreasing your flour or adding an egg if you have already tried all the other tricks and you are sure that, like me, you are doing everything right.
Why don’t my popovers rise?
Why won’t my popovers pop over?
Too cold and you won’t get the popovers to steam internally quickly enough. But be aware that you shouldn’t make it too hot. If your milk and/or butter is hot enough to cook the eggs while mixing, the batter won’t rise. Best to use all warm ingredients in the 40-50 degrees celsius (100-120 fahrenheit) range.

How do I get my popovers to rise?
Why are my popovers so dense?
You can vary the proportions and the type of flour and milk and the end results all will be fairly similar. If you add more flour, the batter will be heavier and the popovers won’t rise quite as high. The lower the rise, the more dense the bread filling and the smaller the hollow center.
Is Yorkshire pudding and popovers the same thing?
Chef’s Notes. The difference between popovers and Yorkshire puddings is that Yorkshires use the beef fat (the drippings from a beef roast). These popovers are a bit lighter in flavor and you can also prepare them before the roast is even done.
Does popover batter need to rest?
Allow the batter to rest at room temperature while the oven preheats. Resting the batter really does result in better-risen popovers with an airier texture (as opposed to chewy). At least 15 minutes allows the starch molecules to expand and the gluten to relax.
Why did my popovers deflate?
If your popovers lose volume when they come out of the oven, they are probably underbaked. When these airy baked goods aren’t cooked enough, too much steam stays trapped inside. That moisture condenses once they’re removed from the oven, causing them to collapse.
