Popovers
From Gourmet, January 1991

1 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 c. milk
melted butter for brushing the popover pans

Into a bowl, sift together the flour and the salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and the milk. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring, and stir the batter until it is smooth. In a preheated 450 degree oven, heat a 6-cup popover pan for 5 minutes, or until it is hot. Brush the cups with melted butter, and fill them half-full with the batter. Bake the popovers in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees, and bake the popovers for 20 minutes more, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
