Have all ingredients at room temperature.
Combine the milk, flour, butter, and salt in a bowl and beat just until smooth.
1 cup milk, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp butter, 1/4 tsp salt
Add the eggs one at a time, beating as little as possible to incorporate.
2 large eggs
The batter should be thin, about the consistency of heavy cream.
Pour into generously greased muffin or popover tins, filling the cups no more than three-quarters full.
Sprinkle with grated cheese and optional cayenne.
1/2 cup cheddar, cayenne pepper
Bake in a preheated 450F (220C) oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce the heat to 350F (180C) (do not open the oven door) and bake an additional 20 minutes.
To test for doneness, remove a popover and check to see that the sides are firm and golden brown.
