Popovers

Popovers are crispy on the outside and hollow on the inside.  They are best served fresh from the oven, but if you need to make ahead, they can be reheated in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

4 large eggs
2 cups milk
3 Tbsp butter (melted)
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt

Preheat  oven to 450 degrees.  Grease two muffin pans' cups with melted butter or vegetable oil.

In medium bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat eggs until frothy; beat in milk and melted butter until blended.  Gradually beat in flour and salt.  Beat until smooth.

Pour about 1/3 cup batter into each prepared muffin cup (about half  to three quarters full).  Bake 30 - 40 minutes until golden brown and about 2" above the pan.  Immediately remove popovers from cups, loosening with spatula if necessary.  Serve hot. 

For a Fall twist try adding 1 1/4 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice.
