There is this local TV channel that I watch a lot...mostly because it's one of the few channels that we get, but it does have a ton of really great cooking shows. The channel is called Create, and they have everything from travel shows to cooking shows to DIY shows.
There is one show in particular that is called Cooks Country. This is a show that is set in a test kitchen. They go over all sorts of recipes and figure out how to perfect them. My husband and I were watching one day as they were making popovers. Here is where I am about to be VERY embarrassed. Not only have I never heard or eaten a popover, but I also had no idea that they were one of my husbands favorite foods!
Of course, now that I have been thoroughly embarrassed, I had to make them. I do not own a popover pan, so I tried to make them in my muffin pan...this would have worked wonderfully but I decided to be a lazy chef and skip the part where you take the vegetable shortening and rub it on the pan along with a dusting of flour... I decided instead to use muffin liners. This was not a good idea, and I do not recommend it. We couldn't even peel the popovers out of the cups, no matter how hard or long we tried.
Cooks Country does an amazing job of saying how to make these, and I found their directions to be wonderful, so here is the ingredients list, and please take a look at their site for the complete how to. I promise that it's not as difficult as it sounds, they are just very thorough in their directions.
