Popovers
Jazz up this batter with a handful of cheese, a tablespoon of cinnamon sugar, or a few fresh blueberries. Or boost the nutritional value by using whole wheat flour instead.

Combine eggs, milk, salt, and flour in a blender, and blend until well combined.

Pop Secrets
Temperature is the key to well-poufed popovers. If the ingredients or the oven are too cold, there will not be enough energy to push the batter up into a beautiful crown. Be sure the ingredients have lost the chill from the fridge, preheat the pan, and don't open the oven door during the first 30 minutes of baking. If you do, the temperature will drop dramatically, and the popovers will fall.
