Excellent recipe , perfect oven time. I made half of the recipe that meant half of 1/3 cup flour - I followed the recipe instructions & amountsbut I thought no way is this going to work - the batter is much too thin - IT WORKS You can see by the picture how perfect they came out. I did not have any shortening so I used lite olive oil in the muffin tin. For the cheddar I used low fat cheddar (this is not my favorite it is my doctor's favorite) and even using this the popovers were very flavorful, perfect texture. This is a winner Thanks Barefoot Beachcomber

It's a big city now, with all the big city advantages and disadvantages. I miss the small town feel but love the restaurant choices and the people friendly improvements.
My writing is mainly non fiction on historical bits, and I have brief and so far unsuccessful forays into historical fiction. Someday.....
I don't think I'm a great cook but I'm the kind of cook who can walk into the kitchen and find good things in the fridge and pantry and make it into a meal that everyone thinks is pretty darn good. Sometimes I use a recipe and sometimes...not so much.
I have a great collection of cookbooks, and I love reading them and studying the pictures. Sometimes I even cook the recipes, LOL! And that is why I love Zaar, an unending source of recipes and pictures. It's heaven!
