Answer to Question 1

Mix dry ingredients and sift in bowl; combine moist ingredients in separate bowl; combine liquid and dry ingredients until all particles of flour are just moistened may be lumpy; immediately portion and bake. It is very important not to over manipulate or over mix quick bread ingredients.

Answer to Question 2

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.
