Popovers

Makes 8 popovers
Charlotte

Giant airy puffs with hot crispy shells, just waiting to be buttered and eaten. Serve with a meal or salad.  Bake at 425F for 40 minutes.

Ingredients
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
½ tsp. salt

Instructions
Butter generously eight 5 ounce custard cups; place on a jellyroll pan. If you have cast-iron popover pans, heat in oven, then brush cups with melted butter before pouring in batter.
Beat eggs in a large bowl; add milk and butter or margarine. Beat until blended. Add Flour and salt. Beat until batter is quite smooth. Ladle into prepared cups; fill each cup about half full.
Bake in a hot oven, 425F for 35 minutes. Cut slit in side of each popover to allow steam to escape. Bake 5 minutes longer, or until popovers are deep brown and very crisp. Serve at once.
