Just Enough 1 Egg Popovers
wellenuffalone.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

I no longer own a popover pan. A standard muffin pan is shallower and popovers tend not to POP as much as normal. A regular popover recipe would produce 12 of this size. I confess I do have a couple of ceramic popover cups, but I end up using them to melt butter in the microwave.
Trimming back a popover recipe for a 6 cup muffin pan means we have to resign ourselves to shorter but no less yummy popovers. Just enough to satisfy the urge. You can also fill 3 muffin cups and reserve the rest of the batter for the next morning.
If you are lucky enough to possess a popover pan, you can use this recipe to make 3 large popovers. Alton Brown's 2 egg recipe is also delicious AND you can also divide the batter into now and later.

1 EGG POPOVERS

½ tablespoon butter, melted
½ cup flour
¾ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
½ cup whole milk
cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400° F.
Grease muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.
Beat eggs, milk and salt. Stir in flour and melted butter until no lumps appear.
Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.
Bake 35 minutes.
Remove from oven, pierce each to allow steam to escape.
Serve warm.
Toaster ovens bring the popovers closer to the heating element. You can't reduce the temperature, but you can reduce the time a little if the tops start to brown too much.
