1 c. flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. shortening
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 c. milk
1/2 c. American cheese, shredded

Sift together flour and salt in mixing bowl. Cut in shortening until mixing resembles texture of corn meal. Combine eggs and milk. Pour into dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. Fill greased muffin tins or custard cups part full. Place a small amount of cheese on the batter and place another spoonful of batter on top.

Bake in preheated 425 degree oven until well browned, about 40 minutes. Cut a slit in the side of each popover to let out steam; remove promptly from pan so bottom does not steam and soften. Serve promptly. Makes 12 small or 8 large.
