PERFECT POPOVERS
By adding cheese (such as Parmesan), sugar, or spices to the batter, popovers can be suited to any occasion. For ease of use, a popover pan with a nonstick coating is the ideal baking vessel for popovers, but you can also use six-ounce custard dishes or a muffin tin.This recipe was featured on Martha Stewart Living TV.

PERFECT POPOVERS
I know there are a lot of recipes for popovers on 'Zaar, in fact I have three other popover recipes listed, but these came out perfect for me (puffed up very high) and I didn't even have to pre-heat the popover tins either! I did use popover pans though and if using popover or muffin tins it is very important only to fill them halfway. Recipe source: local newspaper.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450-degrees F.
- Grease a 6-cup popover pan (or use muffin tins)--very important to grease pan very well. I don't think Pam is good enough - I used both Pam and butter to grease the tins.
- In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup whisk together flour and salt.
- In another mixing bowl or large measuring cup (I used a 2-cup measuring cup), whisk milk and eggs together until blended.
- Add egg/milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring well with a whisk. (If you use the large mesuring cup (mine was 4-cups) it is very easy to pour into the popover tins.).
- Pour batter into the prepared popover cups.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR WHILE POPOVERS ARE COOKING.
- Reduce heat to 350-degrees F and bake 20 minutes more.
- Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400° F for 20 minutes. Place 1 piece of butter in the bottom of each cup of a six-cup popover tin (or six 1/2-cup custard cups). Place the popover pan on a baking sheet.
- In a smaller bowl, lightly whisk the eggs until they change color. Whisk in the milk.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well blended. Gently whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until only small lumps are left, and set aside.
- Place the popover tin and baking sheet in the oven for 4 minutes. At 3 minutes, give the batter a light whisk. Using an oven mitt, remove the hot tin from the oven and immediately divide the batter among the prepared cups. Bake for 25 minutes without opening the oven door. The popovers will be puffy, with crisp brown crusts and hollow, moist interiors. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Follow the recipe accurately, especially regarding measurements and temperatures.
- Use high-quality, fresh ingredients.
- Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the popovers.
- Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the popovers to collapse.
- Prick the popovers with a toothpick or fork immediately after removing them from the oven to release steam and prevent sogginess.
- Serve popovers warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, honey, or gravy.
