Popovers

I can't believe I've never made these before.  They were so easy and good!

1 1/4 cups milk
1 tbls. butter, melted and cooled
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs


  • Beat the milk, butter, flour and salt until blended.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  
  • Grease pans with butter and put in the preheated oven for two minutes (time it or your butter will over brown)
  • Fill buttered popover pan between 1/2 and 3/4 full.  Bake at 450 for 15 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 20 minutes longer or until very firm.
  • Remove from oven; prick each with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape.  Serve warm.
NOTES:

  • Do not open the oven to peek at them while baking!
  • There was enough batter for 8, but my (borrowed) pan holds 6.  I'll probably want to reconcile that somehow before I try this recipe again.
  • UPDATE - for my new mini pan I baked for 10-12 minutes at 450 and then 10-12 at 350.
