Easy Sourdough Popovers Recipe

These sourdough popovers are a wonderfully comforting treat! Light, fluffy, and slightly tangy from the sourdough starter. It's a great way to use up extra sourdough discard.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk room temp
  • 3 large eggs room temp
  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter, fed or discard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F. I found it is helpful to preheat the popover tin as well! You can stick it in the oven while it is preheating. 
  • Before you mix your ingredients, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature first – this is key for a good rise. 
  • Mix together the room temperature eggs, sourdough starter, salt, and room temperature milk.
  • Mix the flour in gently with a whisk or danish dough hook. 
  • Pour batter into the popover tins, but make sure not to fill all the way up. Leave room for them to pop up! 
  • Bake at 450°F for 20 minutes. Then, reduce heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Notes

  • The batter is pretty thin, similar to pancake batter.
  • Don't over mix! It will make these tough.
  • It's critical your ingredients are at room temperature. Heat is your friend in this recipe!
