    Knife - The reason this and many others has a lower rating is someone is going around giving Pleclare ones arbitrarily on all of her recipes. I've noticed it on others recipes as well. Great use of my popover pan! Great post Pleclare!

    I'm not sure why this recipe has a lower rating than other popover recipes; after all, they all have the same ingredients. Perhaps because this has the extra step of pre-heating the pan. I've found that good popovers require one of two opposite cooking methods to really rise up big and nice. The first is the method you describe of heating the pan before adding the batter. Another method (that I actually prefer) is to butter the pan, add the batter, and put it in a COLD oven. Turn the heat on to 375 and bake for 35-45 min.
