My grandma makes these every time we go over for dinner. I got my starter from her, so I too make these every couple weeks when I need to use up some starter. They are really fast and easy, and taste delicious right out of the oven.

Tips:

Use a buttermilk substitute to create a tangy flavor: If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before using it in the recipe.
Use melted butter to create a flaky texture: Melted butter helps to create a flaky texture in the biscuits. Make sure to let the butter cool slightly before adding it to the dough, as hot butter can kill the yeast.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
Let the dough rest before baking: Allowing the dough to rest for a few minutes before baking helps to develop the flavor and texture of the biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven helps to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

These fake sourdough biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make alternative to traditional sourdough biscuits. They have a tangy flavor and a flaky texture, and they're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Serve them with your favorite soup, stew, or salad, or enjoy them on their own.
