Popovers that didn't "pop"
I tried my hand at popovers this morning. While tasty, they never did "pop" out of the pan the way they were supposed to. They were more the consistency of muffins.
I don't have a popover pan, so I used muffin tins, but the recipe says you can. I looked in the Joy of Cooking for tips, and the only thing I didn't do was my ingredients weren't at room temperature. The eggs and milk were straight from the fridge. Would this explain the lack of rise? They went into a fully preheated oven.
Any other ideas or tips for perfect popovers?
