What is a Popover?

Popovers are a wonderful treat and really a one of a kind item. They are by no means a muffin and not really a bread, but are some of the best breakfast and brunch food you can have, in my humble opinion.

They rise light and fluffy and when baked turn out lightly browned, tall and light and airy inside. There is no leavening used in the recipe. They are best served immediately from the oven and taste best with just butter or add your favorite homemade jam or preserves if you want a sweeter taste. You can also stuff popovers with a savory mushroom mixture for a different flavor.

Here is the popover recipe that I still use today.

Why do You Need a Special Popover Pan?

About 10 years ago a friend of ours was visiting our home and asked if I would make popovers for breakfast. I asked him what they were as I had not had them before. He called his mom and got the recipe and we made them that morning. They are heavenly!

Note: Any diet you happen to be on may be dented a bit, but they taste best when slathered with butter - a lot of butter. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Well, at the time I didn't have a specialty pan to bake the popovers in, so I used a standard muffin pan. While they turned out pretty good and tasted wonderful, they didn't rise very high like our friend explained they should. After a few years I found these wonderful popover pans and now with the right pans for the job, my popovers turn out looking like they should along with tasting great. That is why you need a special pan created for the job. So, what do others think? Read more reviews here.
