The Dish: Popovers

• 6 large eggs, at room temperature

• 4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

1. Preheat oven to 350F

2. Microwave the milk on high for 2 minutes, or until warm to touch.

3. Beat the eggs at medium speed for about 3 minutes, until foamy and pale in color. Slowly stir in the milk at low speed. Beat again for 2 minutes on medium speed. Let the batter rest for 1 hour at room temperature.

4. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Spray the popover tin heavily with non-stick spray. Fill cups almost to the top with batter. Place popover tin on cookie sheet.

6. Bake 15 minutes at 450F. Reduce heat to 375F and bake for 30-35 minutes more. Popovers should be a deep golden brown on the outside and airy on the inside. Serve hot with strawberry butter.

1. Beat the butter until light and fluffy.

2. Add strawberry preserves and beat until well combined.
