Popovers

2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease and flour a popover tin (ramekins, custard cups and even a cupcake tin all will work too).

2. In a medium bowl beat eggs slightly, beat in flour, milk and salt until smooth. Fill cups (or each opening in the tin) 1/2 full.

3. Bake at 450 degrees F for 20 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for 20 minutes more. Remove the popovers from the cups and serve while they are hot!
