Anyone ever make popovers?

If so, can you make decent ones in a muffin tin, or do I have to run around and find a popover pan?

The last time I tried to make popovers, I was ten. They fused to the muffin pan and I spent a week trying to scrub it off. The ones I made in muffin liners fused to the liners.
This probably does not help you.

Half of what I say is meaningless.

I totally have done this, many times, and the results, as far as recipient reviews, are very, very good. I've only eaten popovers made the correct way one time, when I was working at Restaurant Eugene, and my version is totally suitable.
I go the Alton Brown route, and use basically the same recipe for popovers and Dutch Babies and Yorkshire Pudding. Pretty much all the same thing.
Muffin tin makes them a bit shorter, but no worry. You can just have 2 instead of 1.

I've made them many times also. They are elegant and delicious I think. The first time I made them they didn't rise properly and after much discussion on the AC site it was determined that AP flour should be used instead of bread flour. I use the recipe that came with my popover pan or Alton Brown's Food Channel recipe. I don't see why you couldn't do them in a muffin pan, just preheat it, I think it is important that they are started in a hot pan.

In a related topic does anyone make Yorkshire Pudding this time of year? My family has always done a rib roast for Christmas dinner but has never made Yorkshire Pudding out of the drippings. Perhaps I'll try this year.

The folks I'm visiting for Xmas day are making Yorkshire pudding - she's gotten pretty good at it. One of the problems with making it in the South is the protein content (or lack thereof) of the 'suthern' flour vendors - better to use Pillsbury to get it fluffy than the local stuff. Or so I've been told.

I use a muffin pan with great results. it is nonstick but I butter it well anyway. Mark Bittman had a recent post in The Minimalist column about popovers:

and I posted this on the past forum, it is a recipe for breakfast popovers that everyone loves:

Why, thank y'all; I knew this was the place to go. My mom used to make Yorkshire pudding all the time, but I can't get to her recipe since it's six states away, but I can get it next time I go to her house.

It originated as a way to catch drippings of the meat - it was supposed to be the first course. Since it was doubtful you could afford a large enough roast to feed the family, this was a way to give them something to fill up on - guess it's a proto-'hamburger helper'.
A Google gave me this link - it has the 'royal' seal of approval...

After much struggle (2 test batches) I got the little buggers to do what they were supposed to; I'll post the recipe, because the first batch made a very interesting Yorkshire pudding kind of thing; very crisp on the outside and fluffy like a yeast roll within.
