Sourdough Berry Dessert

I wanted dessert. We had all the ingredients on hand for this and it looked quick and easy and used up some sourdough starter. The batter is very thin and watery, so make sure you're using a pan that won't leak (no springforms for this)!

Sourdough Berry Dessert

Slightly adapted from Northwest Sourdough

Ingredients

  • 1/4 c. heavy (35%) cream
  • 1/4 c. milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 75g sugar
  • 1/4 c. unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 200g (100% hydration) sourdough starter
  • pinch of coarse sea salt, ground
  • 285g frozen berries (or other fruit)1
  • 1 Tbsp. cinnamon sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease a 20cm (8") round pan.
  2. Combine cream, milk, eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, starter, and salt and whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
  4. Scatter frozen fruit/berries on top (they will sink in).
  5. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  6. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 40 minutes2.
  7. Remove from oven and cool for 10-20 minutes.
  8. Serve with whipped cream.



1 I used a mix of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Peaches, cherries, or plums would also work well. Back
2 If using fresh, rather than frozen fruit, you may need to reduce either the baking time, temperature, or both. Back
