Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix sourdough starter, warm milk, and egg until combined.

  6. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the dough.

  8. Place each piece into a greased muffin tin cup, spiral side up.
  9. Cover and let the cruffins proof for 1-2 hours or until puffy.
  10. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Brush cruffins with egg wash made from egg yolk and water.
  12. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Cool slightly before removing from tins and serving warm or at room temperature.
