Melodie's Popovers

If you've never had popovers, you're missing a real treat that's easy to make. Great for Sunday mornings. You will need to buy a special pan (muffin tins won't do).
3 eggs                                     450 degree oven
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour                 15 minutes
1 1/2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt                              325 degree oven
1 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted            25-30 minutes

Makes 6 large popovers

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease popover pans generously. In mixing bowl, beat eggs slightly. Add remaining ingredients and beat with electric mixer until there are no lumps (but do not overbeat). Fill popover pans 3/4 full. Bake 15 minutes, reduce heat to 325 and bake 25 to 30 minutes more, or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Popovers are tasty as they are, or can be served with jam. For a variation, try filling the popover pans with about two-thirds of the batter, then sprinkle shredded cheese in each and cover with remaining batter.
