Time 30m

Yield 14 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups self-rising flour (like Martha White- chilled)
1/3 cup butter (very cold)
1 cup buttermilk (cold)
1/4 cup sourdough starter (100% hydrated or thick paste consistency)
more self-rising flour, for surface

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450°F.
  • All ingredients should be well chilled.
  • In a bowl, add buttermilk to the starter and stir well to break up and dissolve the starter.
  • Add the flour to a large, clean bowl and grate the butter into the flour stirring often or cut the butter into small pieces and mix with the flour using a pastry blending tool or a fork. Add the buttermilk mixing in more and more flour until all the flour is involved and the dough is sticky, gummy and on the verge of being "too wet". Add additional buttermilk if needed or flour.
  • Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and with flour on your hands make into a very soft dough, sprinkling a little extra self-rising flour over it all as needed until no longer sticky. Try not to work the dough at all or anymore than necessary for it to be consistent throughout. Pat out dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Place on cookie sheet or greased cast iron skillet.
  • Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter if desired and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use a sourdough starter that is active and bubbly. If your starter is not active, feed it a few times before using it in the recipe.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces. This will help create flaky biscuits.
  • Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the biscuits rise properly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise and brown properly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.

Conclusion:

Sourdough biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual brunch to a holiday feast. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious biscuits right at home.
