I got out my older cast iron to clean and season it, and found a popover pan among my collection. After searching around and with a little help from Beth Mayhew, I developed a popover recipe for the cast iron pan. My pan's wells are not quite as deep as some of the newer pans, but the consistency of the popovers, both inside and the outside crust, are classic.
