@bamboostarbabe Some people have tried, personally I don't think there is enough surface area. The extra height of the popover tray can deliver more heat faster which helps them really "pop" up.
@mikastu thanks, I actually tried last night and it didn't turn out 'perfect' but it was acceptable. I used wax paper to elongate the muffin tin which worked out ok in lieu of buying a popover tray. Also, the butter caused the popovers to stick to the bottom of the tray, so i might substitute butter spray instead. love the taste too!!
@bamboostarbabe Great! Not bad eh? not too sweet and enough space in the middle to fill with what ever you want. I'm glad someone actually got back to me with their results from a muffin tin. Thanks for the comments!
And the taste mine are flaky on the outside but the inside is kind of doughy that can't be right what is it supposed to feel like? I poke a knife in it but I'm not sure it's doing what it's supposed to, I think I'm gonna have to get that popovers tin, I just gotta have some made right.
@LockandKey No that sound about right. flaky on the outside and soft and somewhat moist on the inside. Remember they are leavened with steam and will be moist by nature. You just have to poke them to let the excess steam out so they aren't soggy.
I was wondering how much butter goes into the bottom of the pan because I did it and they popped enough in a normal muffin tin but they stuck and all the videos I've seen said they don't stick but mine were super stuck in there they were still good but I just wanna know how much butter goes into the bottom is there a measure ment or just whatever?
@LockandKey I don't really use that much butter. It's just little cubes in the video, probably about 1/4 teaspoon at most. Does your muffin tin have a rim or edge at the top of the cup? That might cause it to get stuck. Try and find a Pop-over tin with a non-stick coating and you'll probably have better luck!
Try it using drippings from bacon or roast instead of butter, or added to the butter. Also you can sprinkle bacon crumbles, parmesan or other small bits of things on the top of the batter to add some flavor and protein. Finally, if you use whole wheat pastry flour then you can get all the fiber and nutrients of whole wheat with your yummy pastries!
Thank you Stu. Best popovers I've ever made. They actually turn out perfectly. I make them just the way you do then eat them with strawberry preserves...all of them!!!!
I've made these twice just to see if it was a fluke that they turned out so well. Fantastic. First batch I shared with neighbors, the second, well, I just enjoyed with a lot of strawberry jam and froze some which I later reheated at 325 for 10 minutes. The English serve them with roast beef and use the drippings from the roast beef instead of buttering the pans. I've never had those but I bet they are delish too. They call them "Yorkshire pudding".
are they for breakfast? what do you eat them with? or do you eat them plain? i want to try these. can you use a regular muffin trey? or do i need that special dish?
Regular muffin trays aren't deep enough so there isn't enough surface area to provide the right amount of heat, so they won't "pop". Eat them plain, fill them with yogurt , jam, sloppy joe, roasted mushrooms, etc etc etc. They aren't sweet so you can use them for anything,
@mikastu actually i went to culinary arts college class when i was in high school and we had both a popover tray and a muffin tin, and we used a muffin tin for popovers and they came out rly good they looked the same as the ones in the video. my instructor who went to college, and is a chef in 2 different resturaunts said its perfectly fine to use a muffin tin everyone
@shifttradition you can have them for B L or D they are good all day long. You must eat them with butter and whatever your favorite jam or jelly happens to be. You don't need a popover tray you can use a muffin tin.
Thanks! When I first made popovers they didnt...... popover! Lol. Then when I saw your video and actually heated the popover trays... they turned out perfect!
Seriously, thanks so much!!! You just made me a Happy Baker. :)
It's so the batter starts reacting immediately and the popovers get a quick start and rise as high as they can go. Also it gives them more of a crust so they will come out of the tray easily and they're good n' crispy!
Looks a bit over done for my tastes, but still good. Now slather it with lots of butter!! :D

My popovers didn't popover. =o[ How do you get them to go so high?
spankula123 2 months ago
Parmesan cheese could be added to the batter. No ? If so, how much would you say ? I like your way of making Popovers.

What are these? I`m from the uk so I don`t know! Are they like Yorkshire puddings?
moleman1961 1 year ago
@moleman1961 Yep! So say my UK friends. They use fat from the meat instead of butter. I hardly ever have that kind of meat so I love using butter.

@talladys124 The secret in these is heating the pan. I've never had them turn out as well as these without doing them the way he does.

Why exactly are the trays heated before hand?

It's so the batter starts reacting immediately and the popovers get a quick start and rise as high as they can go. Also it gives them more of a crust so they will come out of the tray easily and they're good n' crispy!
