I made these in popover pans well greased and preheated in a 450 degree oven for about 5 minutes. I used plain unflavored soy milk because I cannot drink cow's milk. I baked at 450 for 20 and then at 350 for 20 min. They came out incredibly puffy and delicious! I'll be getting that popover pan out more often now and want to try some herb and cheese additions to the batter. Thanks Melissa, another great recipe!

Most popover recipes fail to mention the most important thing about making popovers: The popover pan should be put in the oven and heated up before pouring in batter. This is essential go get popovers to "pop" and grow to those glorious hollow culinary treats. The hot popover cups cause the batter to instantly cook on the edge of the cup and the batter has nowhere to go but UP! I learned this after many of my popovers never popped and I talked to a chef at Mariposa restaurant in Neiman Marcus in Honolulu. So, always use a popover pan and ALWAYS HEAT THE PAN!
