YOU MEAN THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO STICK?

Path to perfect popovers (Carol Mighton Haddix, November 12, 2008, Chicago Tribune)

Here are a few tips for perfect popovers:

•Heat the empty pan in the oven first, then butter the cups.

•Fill the cups only three-quarters full.

•Initial high heat will make the batter rise nicely, but then give them enough baking time to firm up before you remove them, otherwise they will deflate.
