2 eggs
1 c. milk
1 c. sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. cooking oil or melted shortening

Break eggs into mixer bowl; add milk, flour and salt. Beat 1 1/2 minutes with electric mixer. Add cooking oil and beat 30 seconds. (Do not over beat).

Fill 6 to 8 well-greased custard cups half full. Bake in very hot oven (475 degrees) for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake 30 minutes more until golden brown.

A few minutes before removing from oven, prick each popover with a fork to allow steam to escape. Makes 6 to 8 popovers. If making a double batch, mix each batch separately.
