"I received this recipe along with a pan that I purchased from a work colleague. He told me that his wife had perfected the recipe and it was a family favorite. I had never made popovers with this method before, but I gave it a try. They are perfect!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN. Prepare the popover pan by spraying each cup with oil. Combine the milk, flour, oil, and salt. Beat with an electric mixer on high for 1 minute.Add eggs, one at a time, beating 20 seconds after adding each egg. Fill cups 2/3 full.
Step 2
Set in a cold oven. Turn heat to 425 º. Bake about 35 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven and let stand a few minutes, and then remove from pan.
Step 3
You can also make popovers in ramekins, custard cups or just a large muffin pan, although they probably won't "pop" as high. The popovers will be hollow inside, so fill as you would puff pastry, or eat with butter, honey, or jam. I enjoy eating them spread with cranberry sauce.
