Description
Churro Sourdough Popovers are a delightful twist on traditional popovers, combining the tanginess of sourdough with the sweet, cinnamon-sugar flavor of churros.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup milk of choice, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard or unfed starter (active starter will also work)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp melted butter, for brushing, if needed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and muffin tin: Spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray, and place it on the middle rack in the oven, preheating to 400F while making the popover batter.
- Make the sourdough popover batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the milk, sourdough discard, and salt. Whisk until just combined. Then whisk in the flour until large lumps are gone, being careful not to over-mix. Transfer the batter to a large measuring cup or glass.
- Divide the batter in the muffin tin and bake: Quickly divide the batter evenly among the muffin wells, filling almost to the top. Bake at 400F for 30 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Coat in the cinnamon sugar mixture and serve: While the popovers are baking, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the coating in a medium bowl. Remove the popovers from the oven, let cool in the pan for a minute, then remove from the pan and immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. If the coating isn’t sticking well, brush the outsides with a bit of melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar. Serve warm with butter and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, if desired.
Notes
- For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature.
- These popovers are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
- Experiment with different spices, such as nutmeg, in the sugar coating for a different flavor profile.
