Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a popover pan or muffin tin inside to heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, milk, and eggs until smooth.
- Add the flour and salt, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and grease each cup with butter.
- Pour the batter evenly into the cups, filling about 3/4 full.
- Bake at 450°F (230°C) for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until popovers are puffed and golden brown.
- Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent deflating.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately for best texture.
Notes
For a savory twist, sprinkle shredded cheese or herbs on top before baking, or serve warm with butter and jam for a delightful breakfast option.
