I recently got a large-sized popover pan, and wanted to try the recipe that came with it. I like that the batter can be mixed quickly by hand. Popovers are a most interesting quick bread: they don't use yeast or chemical leavenings to make them rise. They rely on steam to form oversize, crispy breads that pop up 3 times their...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease 6 wells of a large popover pan with soft butter and a pastry brush.
- 2. Use a large mixing bowl and a wire whisk. Beat the eggs, milk, and salt together. Mix in the flour until completely smooth. Continue mixing for a few minutes to develop the gluten. Add the melted butter after the gluten is developed so the fat will not interfere with the gluten development.
- 3. Fill the prepared cups only a scant half-full. Bake for 40 minutes on the center rack. The popovers will dry and become rigid.
- 4. Turn off the oven, open the door, and with a sharp knife, quickly make a 1" slit in the side of each popover to release the steam. Close the oven door and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. During this period, the interior of the popovers should become dry and sturdy.
- 5. Lift the popovers from the pan immediately after removing the pan from the oven by grasping the tops with an oven mitt or glove.
- 6. Serve plain, or with butter and jam. Best served hot, straight from the oven. ***They can also be cut open and filled with sweetened berries and topped with whipped cream for a shortcake-type dessert.***
