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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, milk, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Add the flour and salt to the wet mixture, whisking just until the batter is smooth. Then, stir in the melted butter.
Step 4
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Grease the individual popover wells or muffin cups thoroughly with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly among the wells or cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
