These popovers go well with roast chicken or turkey. Vary them by substituting finely chopped fresh marjoram or thyme for sage.

This was the FIRST popover recipe I ever made and it was easy and delicious. I didn't have a popover pan and used a muffin/cupcake pan and they came out light and fluffy. It was fool proof. I followed the directions to the letter. Great recipe. My husband and I loved them. I will be making these for years to come.01/10/10
