Sourdough Popovers
These easy sourdough popovers are baked right in a muffin tin for a simple, budget-friendly treat made with regular pantry ingredients and sourdough discard. Serve them for a special family dinner or with sweet jams for a fun surprise at brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk I used 2%
- 1/2 cup (113 g) sourdough starter
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 teaspoon table salt
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- Cooking spray for the muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and place a muffin tin on the center rack while the oven warms up.
- Measure the milk into a microwave safe cup and heat it for 30 seconds or until it feels just warm to the touch. Set it aside.
- Place a 4-cup measuring cup on a food scale. Measure the sourdough starter into the cup.
- Add the eggs, table salt, and the warm milk and whisk everything together.
- Add the flour to the measuring cup and stir it in until just combined with a spatula. The batter will be very thin and slightly lumpy, you do not want to over mix it.
- Once the oven has preheated, carefully place it on the stovetop and spray cooking spray over the wells.
- Pour the batter into 6 of the wells, leaving an empty well between each popover so you have room for them to expand. (See photos in post above for reference.)
- Place the muffin tin back in the oven and bake the popovers for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375°F and bake for another 10 - 15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Serve immediately with butter and/or jam.
