1.
Beat the egg in a mixing-bowl.
2.
Add the milk, and stir together.
3.
Sift the flour and salt into the milk and egg, and stir.
4.
Beat steadily with the dover beater for at least five minutes.
5.
Butter the muffin-pans thoroughly and pour the batter into them, filling them two-thirds full.

Popovers should always be served hot from the oven—if allowed to cool even slightly, they become soggy and unpalatable.
