Trapped air being heated inside the popover expands, pushing the dough upward, until the dough is cooked and then retains the expanded shape. The high proportion of liquid in the batter creates steam that causes the popovers to puff up. The conversion of the liquid in the batter to steam is dramatic. One part liquid converts to 1600 parts steam. The egg protein causes the popover batter to stretch, hold the steam and solidify to form crusty walls.
