La source Time-Life CUIMO-2F, 1974, Vol. 2 traduit le terme anglais popover par pet de nonne. Elle se trompe. Les pets-de-nonne sont des beignets cuits dans la grande friture (confirmé par SUPERCHEF (avec photo), LAGAS-F 1984 et Jehane Benoît (BENCU 1969). Cette dernière conserve le terme popovers dans son édition française. L'Office de la langue française recommande l'usage, en français, du terme anglais popover, sous toute réserve. 2, record 5, French, - popover
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 OBS
La recette des popovers semble être identique à celle du Yorkshire pudding (également levé par la vapeur), sauf que la graisse végétale remplace la graisse de rôti, et que le Yorkshire pudding peut être fait dans un grand plat, tandis que les popovers se font dans des moules individuels. 2, record 5, French, - popover
