Preparation

Step 1

Spray 12 popover cups with nonstick spray, set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, use a wire whisk or rotary beater to beat eggs, milk and melted butter together until combined.

Add flour and salt, beat until smooth. Stir in pecans. Fill the prepared cups 1/2 full with the batter. Bake for 40 minutes or until very firm.

Immediately after removing popovers from the oven, use the tines of a fork to prick each to let the steam escape.

For crispier popovers, turn oven off and return to oven for 5-10 minutes. Remove from cups and serve immediately with honey butter.
