Flaky Sourdough Biscuits
PREP: 10m
COOK: 15m - 20m
COOK: 15m - 20m
NOTES: Sourdough biscuits are best eaten same day, and will easily last 2 days on the counter. You can easily add mix-ins like cheddar cheese, herbs, garlic and more. Use to make breakfast sandwiches.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 c. Flour
- 1.5 tblsp Baking Powder
- 3 tblsp honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 c. cold butter
- 1 c. Sourdough Starter (Active or Discard)
*Active sourdough starter will yield a lighter taste versus discard will yield a taste similar to buttermilk biscuits.
PROCEDURE:
- Preheat your oven to 400 F.
- Combine flour, baking powder and salt.
- Cube the cold butter up to make it easier to press into the flour mixture. Work the butter into the flour until its crumbly, about the size of peas.
- Add the sourdough starter and honey, and continue mixing until it forms a dough. Use a bowl of water to dip your hands into, wet hands will prevent the dough from sticking when you switch to hand-mixing.
- Continue mixing with your hands until the dough pulls together.
- Roll the dough out to be approximately 3/4" - 1" thick
- Use a small cup or a cutter to cut out circles and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 400F for 15 - 20 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the tops with melted butter.
These biscuits are delicious. I added some grated cheddar to mine and everyone enjoyed them. Will definitely be making these again as they were better than my other biscuit recipe.
