Best Cast Iron Popovers Recipes
POPOVERS
Popovers begin with essentially the same batter as Yorkshire pudding. Purists will tell you that what makes Yorkshire pudding so great is that it's cooked in beef drippings. But butter isn't a bad stand-in, and popovers are pretty easy. You can buy special popover pans, with deeper, narrower cups which force the tops up in a more pronounced fashion, but I wouldn't bother. Any muffin pan will produce a perfect popover if the butter is hot, the batter is rich and smooth and the baker is patient. But the patience ends when the popovers are done: they must be eaten right away.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of melted butter in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan or a popover tin and put it in oven while you make batter.
- Beat together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon butter, sugar and salt. Beat in the flour a little bit at a time and add thyme if using; mixture should be smooth.
- Carefully remove muffin tin from oven and fill each cup about halfway. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 15 minutes more, or until popovers are puffed and browned. Do not check popovers until they have baked for a total of 30 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and serve hot.

SUSAN'S POPOVERS
I got out my older cast iron to clean and season it, and found a popover pan among my collection. After searching around and with a little help from Beth Mayhew, I developed a popover recipe for the cast iron pan. My pan's wells are not quite as deep as some of the newer pans, but the consistency of the popovers, both inside and...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease and heat the popover pans in the oven.
- 2. Combine all the ingredients except 1 tablespoon melted butter. Do not over-beat the batter. Batter will be thin and have small lumps of flour.
- 3. Brush the heated popover pans with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Fill each well about 1/2 full with the batter.
- 4. Bake on middle rack of of oven for 15 minutes. Do Not Open Oven Door, but reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 20 minutes. Popovers will be a nice golden brown and have a crusty outside.
- 5. Remove from oven. With a toothpick, poke a small hole in each popover to release steam. Remove from pans and enjoy while hot.
- 6. May be eaten for breakfast with butter and jelly; or with main dishes as dinner rolls. Popovers will be crusty on the outside, and very soft with air pockets on the inside.
