The best popovers boast a dramatic rise in the oven, a golden brown crust, and moist, hollow interiors that provide the perfect medium for sweet strawberry butter. A popover pan is designed with deep cups to promote an even spread of heat and the highest puff, but a standard muffin pan will also work well.

BOILED EGGS
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 2 inches.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the water comes to a boil, cover the pan, remove from the heat, and let the eggs stand in the water for 2 minutes for soft-boiled or up to 2 minutes for hard-boiled. Drain the eggs and rinse under cold running water until cool. When the eggs are cool, crack and peel them.
