shortening and beat with a rotary egg beater until smooth (about 2 minutes). Fill the hot,
greased custard cups 1/2 full and bake in a hot oven (450 degrees F.) for 20 minutes.
Then lower the heat to a moderate oven (350° F.) and bake for 40 minutes, or until
popovers are firm, brown and, when tapped, sound hollow.
Serve with honey thinned with warm, melted butter and chopped nuts, if desired.
