Gluten-Free Popover Easy Recipe

We absolutely LOVE this gluten-free popover recipe! They’re extra crispy on the outside, light and hollow on the inside, and taste just like the best Yorkshire pudding—making them the ultimate gluten-free popovers. Plus, this is one of the easiest recipes out there!

One tip: always double the recipe, because they disappear fast! They’re just too good to resist. Can you ever really have too many popovers? We think not!

What Makes Popovers Unique

A popover is made from the same batter as Yorkshire pudding, but it’s baked in individual molds, like a popover pan or a muffin tin (pan).

Occasions for Serving Popovers

Popovers are typically served during brunch, dinner, or special occasions. They are often enjoyed as a side dish with roasts, particularly beef or turkey, and are popular during holiday meals like Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas. 

Quick and Easy Gluten-Free Popovers

What I love most about this gluten-free popover recipe is that it takes just five minutes of prep time and a blender—no messy bowls or spoons to clean up!

Once you’ve made the batter, pour it into the muffin or popover pan. A crucial tip: add some oil to the pan and heat it in the oven before pouring in the batter.

And remember, NEVER open the oven during baking, or the popovers will come out dense and flat. See how simple this recipe is!

Another amazing recipe to try is the Gluten Free Parmesan Popovers With Sage. OMG, they are So GOOD!

Key Tips for the Best Gluten-Free Popovers

1. Preheat the Pan: Always heat the oil in the pan before adding the batter for that perfect rise.
2. Measure flour correctly: Use a kitchen scale for best results.
3. Don’t Overmix: Blend just until combined; there shouldn’t be any large lumps in the batter, though scattered smaller lumps are OK. This keeps the popovers light and airy.
4. Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Using milk and eggs at room temperature is essential for a good rise and hollow inside. This helps create a smoother batter and better texture.
5. Avoid Opening the Oven: Keeping the heat consistent is key to achieving those lofty popovers.
6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy them fresh from the oven for the best flavor and texture!

How to Measure Flour Correctly Without a Kitchen Scale

If you don’t have a kitchen scale, here are some tips to measure flour accurately:

1. Use the Spoon and Level Method:
   • Fluff up the flour in its container with a spoon to aerate it.
   • Spoon the flour into your measuring cup without packing it down.
   • Use a straight edge (like a knife) to level off the excess flour.
2. Avoid Scooping:
   Don’t scoop the measuring cup directly into the flour container, as this can compact the flour and lead to using too much.
3. Use the Right Measuring Cup:
   Use dry measuring cups (not liquid measuring cups) for the best accuracy.

Preparing Popover Batter in Advance

While it’s best to bake popovers fresh, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to a day. Just remember to give it a quick blend before pouring it into the hot pan for the best results!

Enjoying Popovers with Leftovers

Popover’s hollow interior makes them perfect for filling with delicious leftovers and gravy. They’re typically served with roast beef, but they’re also fantastic for turkey or chicken. Simply fill the popovers with leftover meat and smother them with gravy. Here’s a recipe for gluten-free gravy made without drippings—YUM!

If you have leftover cranberry sauce or apple sauce, feel free to add that as well. Try this Homemade Cranberry Sauce, so easy to make.

For an easy, casual meal, fill mini Yorkshire pudding rolls with leftover meat and gravy, and serve them alongside veggies like Simply Roasted Fennel with Carrots or a side of Shredded Brussel Sprouts and Cranberries Salad. Your family will be impressed!

These popovers are super light and hollow with a crispy crust, making them ideal for filling. You’re going to love them!

A Sweet Finish to Your Meal

I hope you enjoy these delicious gluten-free popovers! To complete your festive meal, consider adding a freshly baked gluten-free crustless apple pie, or indulge in a slice of our famous Gluten Free Chocolate Pecan Pie! Both desserts are amazing and will make your meal even more special.
