Sourdough Popovers

Light and airy sourdough popovers with a crisp golden crust, perfect for breakfast or as a savory side. These easy-to-make treats showcase the tangy flavor of sourdough with a delicate, hollow interior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for greasing pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a popover pan or muffin tin in the oven to heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together sourdough starter, milk, and eggs until smooth.
  3. Add flour and salt and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and brush each cup with melted butter to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into each cup, filling about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake at 450°F (230°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent collapse.
  8. Serve immediately with butter, jam, or savory toppings.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or herbs to the batter before baking. Popovers are best served fresh and warm to maintain their crisp texture.
