Popovers

Who knew they could be so persnickety!!

I bought a popover pan at Christmas time and decided to make them for Christmas breakfast.

Well let me tell you it has been a real adventure.

Me against the popovers!

 I can't tell you how many times I have attempted this but sometimes I would win and sometimes I would lose.

I do believe I have the secret now and this is a picture of success!

They are a delight to eat, especially with cherry jam or strawberry.

We had them in Maine at Acadia National Park with strawberry and they were wonderful at the end of a trail walk.

Place the oven rack in the lower part of the oven. 

2 Tbs unsalted butter, melted

3 eggs, lightly beaten

Pour 1/2 tsp. of the melted butter into each cup.

In a bowl whisk together the eggs and milk., then whisk in the remaining butter.

In a large bowl, whisk the flour and salt, then whisk in the egg mixture.
