Hi Alan! Well, I couldn't say if the batters are different from German pancake batter since there about probably many recipes for German pancakes, BUT, having made a lot of popovers, I've found that the "pop" and the ideally even rising happens in the first 20 to 25 minutes of baking. If mine haven't popped enough for my liking at 20 minutes, I leave the temperature as is until I'm happy and then lower it and shorten the total bake time. Since they're popping unevenly, there may be some hot spots in your oven. On the flip side, the oven may not be as hot as it's telling you it is (they lie) so it's good to check with a digital thermometer to make sure it's reading true for best results. Annabelle@KAF
