Preparation

Step 1

Oven 450
Grease six 6-oz custard cups with 1/4 teaspoons of the shortening for each cup. Place custard cups on a 15x10x1 baking pan or baking sheet and place in oven; preheat oven to 450. Meanwhile, in a 4-cup liquid measure or mixing bowl combine beaten eggs, milk, and oil. Add flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat with electric mixer or rotary heater till mixture is smooth. Remove pan from oven. Bake in a 450 oven for 20 minutes. Reduce oven to 350; bake 6 minutes; turn off oven for remaining 9 minutes until very firm. A few minutes before removing from oven, prick each popover with a fork to let steam escape. Serve hot.
