They are sort of the same. They're both baked products that rely on heat reacting with eggs to create a leavening action. The popover dough forms a hollow shell and balloons out of the pan. It's fun to make and looks impressive but mostly it's a lot of hot air. I'll eat one but the experience is mostly hollow and empty. They're easy to make. I've made them but I'm so over popovers.
