    Im curious if the salt in this recipe works to help it rise?? I say this because I found them delicious but a bit to salty. Id like to cut in half

    I've made these quite a few times now with veried results. In my oven at my house I have a convection oven and they rise fantastically. I'm struggling in another oven however getting them to rise. That is frustrating considering past successes.

    OMG...Yummy! I made popover rolls for the first time for Thanksgiving and they were a hit. Not only did it make me seem like a "superstar" chef for trying something new, but they tasted great too! I was a little unsure at first. The batter seemed way too thin, but I was wrong. The popover rolls came out perfect. They had a light flaky texture inside and they had a buttery taste. Definitely use a popover baking tray to get the full effect. Great and simple recipe!

    Ha! My teen daughter was making this as we were trying recipes for thanksgiving. All went well until she tried to put it in the oven. She had lubes the pan accordingly, and her grip slipped on the buttery lube! After cleaning the oven, floor, and cabinet she tried again! Delicious, and worth the cleaning!

    Easy recipe, just a bit of adjusting oven temp to get the inside cooked all the way.

    To Grace: Use Kosher salt...not regular, which would be way too salty! And always use butter, never oil or shortening. Nothing can take the place of butter if you're looking for flavor! (Unless you use meat drippings...yum!

    I was able to put all of the ingredients in my bullet blender, zapped it for the 30 seconds, and poured it into the preheated pan! A new easy family favorite!

    Should have read the reviews first! Yes, heat the pan....mine did not rise as expected even though they were tasty. And they were too salty.....reduce salt! I think a teaspoon would do. I wonder about using oil or shortening instead of butter as a way to improve this recipe. Otherwise, based on the simplicity of this recipe, they worked for a breakfast surprise!
