Lemon-Pepper PopoversRomulo Yanes

We know these monster popovers look like gougères on steroids, but we promise there are no illicit performance-enhancing ingredients at work here: just an egg-rich batter that (naturally) bakes up big.

Cooks' note:

• Popovers can be made in 9 buttered (1/2-cup) muffin cups; bake about 30 minutes before cutting slits.
