We love popover and our family has been enjoying them since I was a little girl. Even though my family was Italian we always incorporate popovers or yorkshire pudding with roast beef or roasted chicken dinners. It really wasn't for the meat but for the gravy. We all had our own ramekins filled with gravy for dipping. It's true - We all still do it..
A popover is made in a muffin tin or popover tin made with eggs, milk and flour. Many times some of the drippings are added to enhance the flavor. When baked in the tins they rise and form a slightly hard and hallow shell. These are very addicting!
Yorkshire pudding is made of the same ingredients as the popover but the batter is baked in a pan and the texture is softer (almost custard like). They are cut into square and enjoyed with gravy.
This is a brand new recipe and I will be making this one over and over again! Check out my Asparagus Popover! Of course we love our Lodge Cast Iron Pan
