Great Tips on Making Popovers

My experience with popovers is minimal, I must admit.  I make them maybe once a year  The first time i tried making them, I didn’t realize how many factors are at play and did a shoot-from-the-hip chocolate filled popover that was spectacular.  I melted some baking chocolate down with a touch of butter and some brown sugar, let it cool, and divided it into chunks.  I filled the muffin cups halfway, added a chunk to each, then finished filling them.  I had the idea to make it again, and then fill the cavity of the finished popover with pastry cream for an even more decadent dessert, but I could not replicate the original effort.

Since then, I’ve made basic popovers no more than a couple of times, and each time they’ve come out differently.  I could never quite explain why, but I stumbled across a website that provides a very thorough and well written list of tips and tricks that should help get you on your way to making the perfect popover in your own kitchen.
