Are they popovers or Yorkshire puddings?
What exactly is the difference anyway?
Well, let me tell you!
Typically popovers are cooked using butter, and Yorkshire puddings are cooked using beef drippings.
What do you call them?
I grew up with popovers!
And they are the best right out of the oven, with a big o’ dollop of butter in their hollow centres.
Pure deliciousness, pure indulgence. I could eat the whole batch. Yes. Please.
Popovers
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ to ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1¼ cups milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Prepare your baking dish – I like to use a muffin tin. I just give it a light spray with cooking oil (or Pam) and dust with flour. This allows the batter to climb so they are nice and puffy!
- Whisk together flour and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Then whisk in the butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until combined (smooth with a few small lumps). Be careful not to overmix.
- Fill your muffin cups about ⅔ to ¾ cups full with batter. I find that this batter makes 6-8 good sized popovers. Just remember that if you aren’t filling the whole muffin tin, to fill the empty muffin cups ½ full with water.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then at this time, reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 20 more minutes.
- Serve right away.

Hi I'm Jo-Anna! I mom. I blog. I cook. I craft. I like pretty things.
I want the one with the butter!
I call them Yorkshire Puddings, but then I would as I am a Yorkshire Lass!from England, and gone are the days using beef dripping, too unhealthy, vegetable oil instead nowadays, there is nothing like Yorkshire puds and roast beef, with Bisto gravy, perfection….

I’ve always read posts about popovers but was never really sure what they were. However, I lived in England for a while and am very familiar with yorkshire puddings! Thanks for clearing that up for me

Since I was little we always new them as Yorkshire Puddings but my mom makes them similar to the pop over recipe you posted! Regardless of there name, they have to be one of the best sides to go with roast beef! I love them, and if I could justify them all the time, I would!
Great post!

I think ti call these popovers you need to put beef broth in the muffin tin in a hot pan before the batter goes in. These look like good dinner rolls though.
