- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage

directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs just to blend.
- Gradually whisk in milk.
- Sift flour and salt into egg mixture and whisk until well blended and smooth.
- Whisk in all herbs.
- This is the first key to success- let the batter stand at room temperature for AT LEAST 30 minutes!
- While the batter is resting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
- This is the second key to success- the oven must be very hot!
- Re-whisk the batter before using and transfer to large measuring cup or pitcher with a spout so it will be easy to pour.
- Heat muffin tin with 12 muffin cups in oven for 10 minutes.
- This is the third key to success- the muffin tins must be very hot!
- Transfer drippings or melted butter to a measuring cup with a spout so you can easily pour it into the muffin tin.
- Pour about 1 tsp drippings or melted butter in each muffin cup.
- Return pan to oven for about 6 to 8 minutes.
- This is the last key to success- the fat must be very hot!
- Pour batter evenly into the muffin cups onto the hot fat.
- Bake until puddings are golden and puffy, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Puddings will sink slightly in centre.
- Serve immediately out of oven while still hot.

This came out great! And your "secrets of success" are the same ones my mama taught me! However, I don't think my mother has ever cooked with any herb. My husband loved these so much I am making it again, but trying in one pan and then cutting it. Oh, and here's my new secret - I put the batter in a glass jar with a lid, so I can just shake and pour. :wink:

Hi CountryLady, I could have eaten all 12 by myself! They were great! We made these the other night and we added all fresh herbs from our residents garden! We used flat-leaf parsely, chives &sage we didn't use any thyme. It was truly a wonderful experience! You should have seen everyones face - they thought I was insane when I put the butter in the pan and then put it in the oven -- well this was new and when those popovers first came out of the oven, nice & puffy and then they fell, they kept saying to me that's OK we can make them again and this time they won't "drop". They were wonderful, I can't say that enough! Thank you for sharing, Diane :)

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
