What is the difference between a popover and cream puff?


Both are quick breads; however, a popover has an equal proportion of liquid to flour. It is cooked in a hot oven to vaporize the water, and steam causes popovers to pop. A quality popover is golden brown and tender; it has crisp shells with thin, moist partitions.
A cream puff has the same ratio of flour and liquid as a popover, but contains eight times the amount of fat, more eggs, and less salt. Quality characteristics of a cream puff include hollow shells with crisp crust; they are more tender than popovers.
