My parents were in town last weekend and we tried making popovers for breakfast on Sunday. Unfortunately they did not end up doing much popping. They still tasted great, but half the fun of popovers is ripping them open having that little pocket in the middle. When they pop up, they are less dense and the outside gets much crisper. I am going to have to go double check everything and give it another try.

Update: A year later, we had popover success!

   Over beating can be a cause of flat popovers. Also, allow the batter to settle for about 5 min. before distributing into the muffin tins. Finally, fill only 1/3 full.
