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

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in lower third. Generously butter popover cups.
Step 2
Whisk together milk, water, eggs, and zest in a bowl, then whisk in butter. Add flour, salt, and pepper and whisk until batter is combined well but still slightly lumpy.
Step 3
Divide batter among popover cups and sprinkle tops with additional pepper as garnish. Bake until puffed and golden, about 40 minutes. Cut a slit about 1/2-inch long in top of each popover with a small sharp knife, then bake 5 minutes more.
