Popovers!

One of my great passions in life is making food--particularly baked goods. Yesterday I made these popovers, and they were quite a hit with our brunch guests.  Popovers are airy, eggy, and embarrassingly easy.

For those who are curious:

1-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 
1 teaspoon salt 
3 large eggs (at room temperature) 
1-1/2 cups milk (at room temperature)

Preheat the oven to 450°F. 

Mix together the flour and the salt in a large bowl. 

Whisk together the eggs and milk in a small bowl. 

Stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring the batter until just mixed. Do not overbeat. 

Preheat a popover or muffin pan just until hot. Brush the cups with melted butter and fill them half full of batter. 

Bake for 20 minutes at 450°F. Turn the heat down to 375°F (do NOT open the oven!) and bake for an additional 20 minutes until they are a crispy golden brown.  (Makes 12 popovers.)
