You're right; they are not much work at all. I have made Dutch Baby
pancakes before, but for some reason, I thought that popovers were a
lot more fiddly to prepare. I did use a recipe that starts with a
cold oven.

I already tossed the leftovers to the birds. I can see that they
don't keep.

The recipe I followed used four eggs, two cups of flour, and two cups
of milk! It was from a Paula Deen cookbook. It filled twelve muffin
cups and there was enough batter left to make a Dutch Baby pancake.

I'll make a smaller batch next time I do this.
