Prep Time 12 hours
Cook Time 15 hours

Equipment

  • 1 Butter Cutter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Unbleached All Purpose Flour
  • 2 TBSP Baking Powder
  • 1.5 TSP Coarse Salt
  • 1 Stick Salted Cold Butter Must be cold
  • 2-3 TBSP Melted Butter
  • 1 Cup Sourdough Starter Fed and bubbly
  • 1 TBSP Milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven 425 degrees and place parchment paper on a baking pan.
  • Put all your dried ingredients together in a bowl and whisk them together.
  • With a butter cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture.
  • Cut the butter in until the flour looks like it has a bunch of small clumps.
  • Mix in your sourdough starter and your milk and mix well. I mix it with my hand.
  • The dough may seem raggedy at first, but keep mixing in the flour. It gets wetter as you go.
  • Fold the dough, and then fold it 4 more times moving the bowl a quarter circle each time.
  • Press the dough out on a cutting board into a nice rectangle. Use a cookie cutter or cup to cut out the biscuits.
  • Once you cut out the first few biscuits, mash the dough back together and continue doing this until no more dough remains.
  • Put the biscuits on a cookie sheet and cook for about 15 minutes.
  • Once you pull out the biscuits make sure to butter them generously.
  • Enjoy!
