    Cast iron popovers are a delicious treat that are easy to make and fun to eat.

    The secret to making perfect popovers is using a cast iron popover pan, which allows the batter to rise and puff up, creating a hollow center that's perfect for filling with butter, jam, or other toppings. To make popovers, you'll need a simple batter made from flour, milk, eggs, and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients together until you have a smooth batter, then pour it into the greased popover pan. Bake the popovers in a preheated oven until they're golden brown and puffy, then remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

    One of the great things about cast iron popovers is that they can be easily customized to suit your taste. You can add herbs, spices, cheese, or other ingredients to the batter to create a variety of different flavors. For a savory twist, try adding bacon, chives, and Parmesan cheese to the batter. Or, for a sweet treat, add cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla to the batter. The possibilities are endless, and the result is always a delicious, airy popover that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish for dinner. So why not try making some cast iron popovers today and see how easy and fun they can be?

        Absolutely, you will want to watch it real close so it doesn’t get too hot and burn.

      Do you preheat the cast iron pan inside the oven as the oven preheats?

        Hi Regina! Thanks for reaching out. That's a great question. This recipe does not require preheating the cast iron pan inside.
