1. Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 375F. Use nonstick cooking oil spray to liberally grease the insides of eight deep, 7- or 8-ounce, oven-safe custard cups or coffee cups. Place the cups on a large rimmed baking sheet for easier oven handling.

2. Beat the eggs in the large bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer on low speed for a few minutes, until they are frothy. Add the milk and melted butter. With the mixer on the same speed, gradually add the flour and salt to form a foamy batter. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cups. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Pull the oven rack halfway out and use a sharp knife to make a slit in each popover, releasing steam; return the rack to its position and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, then immediately remove the popovers from their cups. Serve hot.
