    Having read all the reviews it seems like the problem as I said before is definitely to much flour that's why the didn't rise and were dense. I wish I could post a photo and show you how mine turned out :

    DO NOT MAKE THIS RECIPE. The best popover recipe is Ina's. It's easy and fool proof if you follow the directions. I could not believe the amount of oil Sandra used which is not used in a good popover recipe and not necessary. Ina used softened butter that you just coat the popover pan with none floating around in the bottom. Her recipe states 12 servings but it only makes 6 for me because I like the popovers to be larger. Please try it. I also tried Martha's recipe which is good but there is no need for so many eggs. Ina's is by far the best and only recipe I use. The key to popovers is putting the butter pan in the oven for the two minutes before adding the mixture. Also don't open the oven until the 30 minutes are up. They will brown on the top but that's the best part. I would give no stars but couldn't post the review with out puttin gin two for some reason.

    This recipe did not turn out for me. The oil spilled over in the oven as the popover started to rise and almost caused a kitchen fire.

    So easy & so good. If you don't like the seasoning - leave it out. Still great.

    I have only one word to describe these "popovers"-----"FLOPOVERS" I normally do not blog, but this recipe was SO Nasty, that I had to put my 2 cents in, and I am telling you I would not pay 2 cents for this recipe, unfortunately, I did pay more than 2 cents for the eggs, millk, flour, and oil that was completed wasted. The "finished" product, was sopping with oil, had no flavor at all, and was completely undercooked. My fault, I should have read the other poor reviews before making. Live and learn

    I used vegetable oil, but the rest of the ingredients. For the spice I used McCormicks Montreal Steak seasoning 2 tsp and a hearty tsp of garlic powder. My cupcake tins are small, so it made 18. I put 1 1/2 tsp in each and preheated with the oil in them as directed, then poured the batter in. Maybe that is why they cooked in the reccomended time, the size. They were wonderful. My grandsons were here and they loved them. We ate 9 of them with dinner. I was out of bread and remembered seeing this recipe on Sandra's show. They looked good, so I tried it. I don't know what the rest of you did wrong???

    Worst ever! Wasted one dozen eggs and lots of oil, different kinds and time on this, they were faked??? Heavy, dense, didn't rise, just awful. Did Sandra even try this recipe, really ?????

    There is a problem with too much oil...too little cook time (15-20 minutes at 450 then reduce to 350 for an additional 15 minutes works better... real popover tins make a difference.
    The one star of this receipe is the use of packaged seasoning...could be fun to play with varieties to go with main course
