Christmas Morning Popovers
Popovers have been a Christmas morning tradition in my family for 30 years. I get up early to make the popovers, then wake the family to begin opening gifts. When the popovers are ready, I serve them with lots of butter and assorted jams. My father-in-law began the tradition. —Sue A. Jurack

INGREDIENTS
- 1-1/4 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
DIRECTIONS
In a small mixing bowl, beat the milk, butter, flour and salt until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fill buttered popover pans or large custard cups three-fourths full.
Bake at 450° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 20 minutes longer or until very firm. Remove from the oven and prick each popover with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape. Serve immediately. Yield: 9 servings. Test Kitchen Tip Let the eggs and milk come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before preparing the recipe. Allowing them to warm up results in greater height.
