Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup popover pan or muffin tin with butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, milk, and eggs until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, whisking until just combined and the batter is smooth but slightly runny.
- Stir in the melted butter until incorporated.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 450°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately for best puffiness and crispness.
Notes
For an extra touch, serve warm popovers with herb butter or a drizzle of honey. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent collapse.
