Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Sourdough starter (discard or active, unfed)
- 0.25 cup Whole milk (cold)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the sourdough starter and cold milk. Mix just until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it out to about 1-inch thickness. Be careful not to compress the dough too much.
Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll any scraps and cut additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space in between for even baking.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the tops and bottoms.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
