Method:

1. All ingredients should be at room temperature. Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray 9 cups in muffin tin with cooking spray.

2. Lightly flour prepared muffin cups, tapping out excess flour. (If there are unfilled cups in muffin tin, fill each with 1/2 inch water to prevent burning.)

3. Place milk and margarine in blender or mixing bowl. Add 1 cup flour and salt; blend until smooth, scraping down sides of blender if necessary.

4. Gradually add egg substitute and blend until smooth. Working quickly to ensure batter will rise, pour 1 tablespoon batter into each prepared muffin cup and top with 2 tablespoons cheese.

5. Pour in remaining batter, dividing evenly (about 2 tablespoons per cup). Muffin cups should be 2/3 full.

6. Bake immediately. After 20 minutes, without opening oven door, reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake 15 minutes for medium, soft or 20 minutes for crisper popovers. Popovers are done when sides are firm.
