Herb Popovers

I love popovers just out of the oven and slathered in butter. (UPDATE: ERROR CORRECTED SINCE 3-STAR REVIEW). In the oven, they should blow up like little balloons that have a hollow area inside. Watch their progress through the oven window as they cook, rather than opening the oven door. A muffin pan can be used in place of the custard cups.
