ENORMOUS POPOVERS

1 cup sifted flour

½ teaspoon salt

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup milk

2 teaspoons melted shortening

Place greased, heavy custard cups in a hot oven (450° F.) to heat, just before starting to make popovers.
Sift flour and salt together. Combine eggs and milk and stir in the flour mixture. Add 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.

Makes 6 large popovers.

PARMESAN POPOVERS

To serve 6.

9 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup sifted flour
3 eggs
½
teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Preheat oven to 425° F.
Very generously butter the bottom and sides of nine 5-ounce custard cups. Put one tablespoon of cheese in the bottom of each. Set custard cups on a baking sheet.
Beat eggs until well mixed with a rotary beater. Add the milk and the flour, salt and cayenne pepper. Beat just until smooth. Fill cups about half full.
Bake, without peeking, for 20 minutes at 425° F.; then reduce heat to 350° F. and bake an additional 20 minutes, at which time popovers should be golden and crisp to the touch.
If they are not, give them another five minutes.
