Test 2 - Popovers

Now I'm questioning the added pat of butter in the bottom. I was putting in 1/4 tsp in each muffin cup, but what happens if I butter the tins and don't preheat them?


2 Tbsps. butter, melted
1 cup milk, warmed slightly

4 eggs

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

More butter for buttering the tins (about 1/4 cup)

1. Place oven rack at second-from-bottom level. 
2. Pre-heat the oven to 425F.
3. Melt the butter and allow to cool a bit.
4. Warm the milk a bit (microwave for 30 secs) to prevent the butter from congealing.
5. Whisk together the butter and warm milk, add the eggs and, when uniform, add the flour and salt; continue to whisk until it's a lovely smooth consistency.
6. Butter each muffin cup in the tin.
7. With a 1/4 cup measure, distribute the batter among the tins (I use a muffin tin with 12 cups) and pop into the oven. 
8. Bake for 25 minutes; then bake for another 10 minutes at 325F. Serve immediately with butter and jam or, stuff into the middle a square of chocolate - it will melt.
