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
