Ingredients

6 eggs
2 c. milk
6 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375º. Grease well with melted butter or vegetable oil 8 deep 7-ounce pottery custard cups (or 12 2 1/2 x 1 1/4-inch muffin-pan cups). Set greased custard cups on jelly-roll pan for easier handling.
In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat eggs until frothy; beat in milk and melted butter until blended.
At low speed, beat flour and salt into egg, milk and butter mixture. Or, combine all ingredients in blender; blend until smooth.
Pour about 3/4 cup batter into each prepared custard cup (or fill muffin-pan cups half-full). Bake 50 minutes, then quickly cut a small slit in the top of each popover to let out steam; bake 10 minutes longer.
Immediately remove popovers from cups, loosening with spatula if necessary. Serve hot with butter curls.
