Table Talk.
Break three eggs in a bowl and with a fork beat
them just enough to barely mix and break their string-
iness, add one pint of milk and stir. In a second bowl
mix together one pint of sifted flour✪ Popovers and a half tea-
spoonful of salt To the dry mixture add a portion
of the liquid, a little at a time, stirring until sufficient
has been added to make a batter. Beat hard until the
batter is smooth, then gradually add the remainder of
the liquid and strain the now very thin batter. Have
deep earthen cups or gem pans well greased. Fill them
nearly full with the liquid, then place in a slow oven.
Bake fully fifty minutes. If the oven is too hot at first
they will puff up before the sides are sufficiently stif-
fened and as a consequence coUapse. When done they
should be more than twice their first size, quite hollow
and light as a feather when lifted in the hand.
