  • Follow the recipe carefully: Popovers are a delicate pastry, so it's essential to follow the recipe instructions precisely. Don't overmix the batter, or the popovers will be tough.
  • Preheat the oven: The oven must be preheated to the correct temperature before baking the popovers. Otherwise, they won't rise properly.
  • Use a muffin tin: Popovers are traditionally baked in a muffin tin. Make sure to grease the muffin cups well, or the popovers will stick.
  • Don't open the oven door: Once the popovers are in the oven, don't open the door until they're done baking. Otherwise, they will collapse.
