picture of popover

This steam leavened product is made from flour, milk, egg, shortening and salt. It is a pour batter which will, when placed in a hot oven, puff up into a popped puff ball appearance. It is especially used in the South as a "hot bread" for breakfast. It is good with butter and jelly. Interestingly, because the leavening comes from the liquid portion, it is possible to prepare this a day or two ahead of time.

The identical formula is used for Yorkshire Pudding. This is a bread product which is generally heated in meat juices. It is considered to be "quite British".
