Popovers with Sage Butter

I loved these!! They were so easy to make and so yummy!

1 C. unsalted butter, room temperature
1 T. chopped fresh sage
2 C. flour
1 t. salt
2 ½ C. cold whole milk
4 large eggs

Stir butter and chopped sage in small bowl. Season sage butter with salt and pepper. Melt 5 T. sage butter in small saucepan. Transfer remaining sage butter to small dish. Preheat oven to 450 F. Using 3 T. melted sage butter, brush each cup of 12-cup muffin pan. Whisk flour and salt in large bowl to blend. Whisk milk, eggs, and 2 T. melted sage butter in medium bowl to blend. Pour egg mixture over dry ingredients. Whisk until batter is smooth. Divide batter among muffin cups. Without opening oven door at any time, bake popovers 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 F; bake until popovers are puffed and brown, about 20 minutes longer. Transfer popovers to platter; serve immediately with remaining sage butter.
