Insert the metal blade. Process the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, salt and pepper until smooth, 25 to 30 seconds. Remove to a large measuring cup and allow to rest at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450º F. Spray 6 muffin cups (½ cup size) with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins, filling each one about three-quarters full. Bake in the preheated hot oven (450º F) for 20 minutes. Do not peak or disturb, the popovers might fall. Lower the heat to 375º F, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the pans and serve immediately. Variations: Pesto: Add 3 tablespoons Pesto, p. xxx to the batter with the other ingredients.
