Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and place the cast-iron popover pan inside to heat up.

Grease the popover pan with Crisco using a pastry brush, making sure to cover the bottoms and sides thoroughly.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, stirring briefly to mix.

In a separate bowl, crack 2 eggs and add 1 cup of 2% milk, mixing them together.

After the oven has heated for about 5 minutes, combine the milk and eggs with the flour and salt mixture, stirring until just combined, leaving some lumps.

Carefully remove the hot popover pan from the oven using pot holders.

Using a small ice cream scoop, fill each cup of the popover pan with the batter, ensuring each is filled evenly.

Return the filled popover pan to the oven and bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, without opening the oven door during this time.

Once baked, remove the popovers from the oven, and gently split them in half to serve.

Add butter and strawberry jelly to the popovers, or fill them with your choice of toppings.
