Mom's Popover recipe

 There are many traditional foods in the Family but Mom's Popovers and flank stake a two that everyone remembers and wants.  I made the popovers in the new house and thought it would be a good time to add it to the family recipe posts.  Each oven is different so you should experiment to get this correct for your oven and elevation. 

Popovers

• 7Shortening for greasing the pan
• 2 eggs at room temperature, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Grease six custard cups with shortening an place custard cups on a baking sheet and put in oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.  In a mixing bowl combine beaten eggs, milk, and oil. Add flour and salt.  Beat until mixture is smooth.  Remove pan from oven. Fill the hot custard cups half full with the mixture and then return to oven.  Bake at 450 degrees F for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until very firm. If popovers brown too quickly, turn off oven and finish baking in the cooling oven. Serve Hot with butter or jam.
