Popovers

Using 1/2 teaspoon shortening for each cup, grease the bottom and sides of six 6-oz. custard cups or the cups of popover pan. If using custard cups, place on a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan.

In a small bowl, beat eggs; blend in milk and butter. Beat in flour and salt until smooth (do not overbeat).

Fill cups half full.

Bake at 450° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 30 minutes longer or until very firm.

Remove from the oven and prick each popover to allow steam to escape.
