1tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

cooking spray or melted unsalted butter

Place the ingredients in mixing beaker. Place the Cuisinart® Smart Stick® in the mixing beaker, making certain the protective guard is sub- merged in the liquid. Blend, using a gentle up-and-down motion, mov- ing the blender from the bottom to just under the top of the batter, until the batter is blended and completely homogenous, smooth and creamy. Cover and let rest for 30 to 40 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450º F. Spray 6 muffin cups (1⁄2-cup size) with nonstick cooking spray, or brush with melted unsalted butter.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cups. `Bake in the preheated oven (450ºF) for 20 minutes. Do not peek or disturb, or the popovers might fall. Lower the heat to 375º F, and bake for 20 minutes longer. Remove from the pans, prick with a fork to allow steam to escape and prevent from becoming soggy. Serve immediately. For drier popovers, return to hot (but turned-off) oven for 10 minutes

after pricking.
