Is Yorkshire pudding the same as popovers?

Yorkshire pudding and popovers are similar but not identical. Both are made from a batter of flour, eggs, and milk, which puffs up when baked due to steam. However, Yorkshire pudding is traditionally served as a side dish with roast beef in the UK and is cooked in a well-greased roasting pan, while popovers are often baked in individual cups and can be served with sweet or savory fillings in the US. The texture and flavor can also vary slightly due to differences in preparation and ingredients.
