Want to know what makes popovers pop?

It's the steam that forms when they bake at a high temperature. The resulting perfect popover should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and hollow with a tender moist lining inside.

Ingredients:
3 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 tablespoon shortening
2 beaten eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
1 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:
1. I use my oven to cook the bacon. Using aluminum foil, line a baking sheet that has a slight raised edge. Lay the bacon in a single layer. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until crisp. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon drippings. Set aside.

2. Using 1/2 teaspoon shortening for each popover cup, grease bottom and sides of six cups. Set aside.

3. In a mixing bowl combine eggs, milk, and bacon drippings. Add flour and bacon crumbles. Beat with a rotary beater or wire whisk till mixture is smooth. Fill the prepared cups half full. Bake in 400 degree oven about 40 minutes or till very firm.

4. Immediately, remove popovers from the oven and prick each with a toothpick to let steam escape.
