They are s'posed to collapse.  I usually make Yorkshire Pudding/Pauling
Omelet/popovers in a big glass baking dish for breakfast. The edges,
surrounding the pan, rise up big and crusty (and call it Pauling
Omelet); the center falls completely flat. There is no leavening in the
recipe which is why the center collapses upon removal from the oven.

Great with milk, butter and fine-grained sugar, or butter, lemon juice
and sugar.
