Popovers, also referred to as Yorkshire Pudding, are a great accompaniment to a juicy roast beef or steak dinner. Here is a recipe for Quick and Easy Popovers.
Top tips to making great popovers are; make sure the oil in the pan is hot before pouring the batter in, and no peeking while popovers are baking. Rising high in the pan, crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside is what you are looking for in the perfect popover.

Try these popovers with my recipe for Red Wine and Beer Braised Short Ribs.
I’ve always wanted to try these. This recipe seems easy enough for me!
Hi Patty, it is so easy I don’t know why I don’t make them more often!
I have made them many times, I always put lots of butter in the pan, then heat it up in the oven before filling the muffin pan.
I never put butter in my Yorkshires but will definitely try it next time!
Another tip: make your batter ahead and put in the fridge for a wee while. The combination of the cold batter and the hot oil in pan gets the Yorkies started cooking immediately…….and I shall repeat, NO PEEKING!
Great tips Sarah, thanks
