POPOVERS

3 large eggs
1 cup whole or low-fat milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Use nonstick cooking oil spray to liberally grease the insides of eight deep, 7- or 8-ounce, oven-safe custard cups or coffee cups. Place the cups on a large rimmed baking sheet for easier oven handling.

Beat the eggs in the large bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer on low speed for a few minutes, until they are frothy. Add the milk and melted butter. With the mixer on the same speed, gradually add the flour and salt to form a foamy batter. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cups.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Pull the oven rack halfway out and use a sharp knife to make a slit in each popover, releasing steam; return the rack to its position and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, then immediately remove the popovers from their cups.

Serve hot.
