Popovers make a great breakfast option

- Versatile: Enjoy them plain with butter and jam, or dress them up with savory fillings like cheese and herbs.
- Quick and easy to make: The simple ingredients and short preparation time make them a great option for busy mornings.
Fun facts
- They are sometimes called “Yorkshire puddings” in the UK, where they are traditionally served with roast beef.
- The hollow interior is formed by the steam created during baking, which pushes upwards, separating the batter and creating a light and airy structure.
- Popovers are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when they are at their most puffy and crisp.
