   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
4. 4
   Add milk and melted butter. Stir the liquid slowly into the dry ingredients.

   Beat until well blended, but not longer, then pour the batter into the oiled and heated pans, filling them only 1/3 full.
6. 6
   Bake in a 450° oven for 20 minutes, then reduce heat and dry them in a moderate oven, about 350°, for 15 to 20 minutes.

   Remove popovers at once from the pans and puncture them to let the steam escape.
