Popovers

from The Yellow Farmhouse Cookbook
by Christopher Kimball

These are quite simple to make, but remember to grease the pans thoroughly. You will require a popover pan for this recipe.

1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt and stir to mix. Add the eggs and the milk and whisk to combine completely

2. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Adjust rack to the middle position. Using a pastry brush, grease the popover pan very generously with the melted butter. A small amount of butter should puddle in the bottom of each cup.

3. After batter has rested for 30 minutes, pour it into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. Lower the oven to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until they are browned and crisp. Serve at once.

Makes 8 to 12 Popovers.
