Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Generously grease aluminum popover pans or Pyrex custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for exactly 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek.

Steps:
- Warm the eggs by placing them UN-CRACKED in a medium bowl and cover with hot water (as hot as your tap will go). Let them sit for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and move the oven rack to a low position (to prepare for huge popovers!). Grease the popover pan thoroughly inside each cup as well as around the top edges.
- With your whisk, beat together the eggs, milk and salt until they are combined. The yolks should be completely blended in.
- Add the flour and whisk until the mixture is frothy and all large lumps are gone. Then quickly stir in the melted butter.
- Divide the batter between the prepared popover cups. They should be about 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake the popovers for 20 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350°F. Bake for another 10 or 15 minutes. The popovers will be very golden brown.
- My preference is to serve immediately and enjoy them warm!

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.

GIANT-SIZED POPOVERS
I discovered this recipe in Lee Lee's Recipe Box. The description to the recipe reads as follows: "These Giant-Size Popovers are made in individual containers to allow lots of room for rising. They can be filled with creamed ham, chicken, or seafood and served as a main dish, or they can be served piping hot with plenty of butter." Be sure when you make these to spread the custard cups out. These babies puff up pretty big ; ) I hope you will enjoy them!

Tips:
- Use a high-quality muffin tin. A good muffin tin will help your popovers rise evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature. The temperature of your oven will affect the way your popovers rise and cook.
- Use the right amount of batter. If you use too much batter, your popovers will be too dense and may not rise properly.
- Don't open the oven door during baking. Opening the oven door will cause your popovers to fall.
- Let your popovers cool slightly before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Popovers are a delicious and versatile bread that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of different flavors. Whether you like them plain or filled with your favorite fillings, popovers are sure to be a hit at your next meal.
