Ingredients

  • 0.1 teaspoon pepper black freshly ground
  • tablespoons butter melted
  • large eggs at room temperature
  • cup flour 
  • cup milk at room temperature
  • tablespoons parmesan cheese grated
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • tablespoons skimmed fat from turkey drippings (see Notes)

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • oven
  • blender

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 42
  2. Generously brush every other cup in two 12-count muffin pans with melted butter (it will pool a bit in the bottom of the cups).
  3. In a blender, whirl eggs, milk, flour, 4 tbsp. parmesan, pan drippings, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour mixture into prepared muffin pans (each cup should be about half full).
  5. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tbsp. parmesan.
  6. Bake until puffed and golden, about 20 minutes (don't worry if some popovers don't puff quite as high as others); reduce heat to 350 and bake until popovers are firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
