This is the first time I had tried making popovers, and I was impressed with how this recipe turned out. However, my pastry brush was dirty so I had a hard time greasing the muffin tin, so they did stick when I was pulling them out. I think next time, I'll try using a aerosol grease. Still, this recipe is a keeper, and I look forward to doing it again!

Made the plain popovers (twice) I used 1/4 cup resistant starch + 1 cup flour in place of the flour. I also increased the baking time at 350 to 20 minutes as the previous reviewer suggested (Great suggestion!) Made them last night and again tonight and both times they turned out WONDERFUL. I highly recommend this recipe.

I made the cheese popovers. The popovers were wonderful. The only thing I would change is that I would leave them in for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. This should leave them a little less moist on the inside.
