Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unfed sourdough starter (discard)
- 1 cup Milk
- 3 units Large eggs
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F. Place a popover pan or a standard muffin tin in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, milk, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Add the flour and salt to the wet mixture, whisking just until the batter is smooth. Then, stir in the melted butter.
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Grease the individual popover wells or muffin cups thoroughly with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Divide the batter evenly among the wells or cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
Place the pan back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F. Without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed, golden brown, and set.
Remove the popovers from the oven and serve immediately. If desired, you can prick each popover with a toothpick to release steam and help maintain their crispness.
