Sourdough Popovers

Light and airy sourdough popovers with a crisp golden crust make a perfect breakfast or snack. These easy-to-make treats showcase the tangy flavor of sourdough in a classic popover form.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a 12-cup popover pan or muffin tin in the oven to heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, flour, milk, eggs, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  3. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and grease each cup with unsalted butter.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
  5. Place the pan back in the oven and bake at 450°F for 15 minutes.
  6. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed up and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

For extra flavor, serve the popovers warm with honey butter or your favorite jam.
