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.

Time 14h

Yield about 30 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups Sourdough Starter, recipe follows
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 heaping teaspoons baking powder
1/2 heaping teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup melted butter (1/2 stick)
2 (1/4-ounce) packages active dry yeast
8 cups warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
2/3 cup sugar
8 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 raw potato

Steps:

  • Prepare the Sourdough Starter the night before. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle yeast in the starter and stir. Add sugar and stir. Add salt and stir. Add baking powder and baking soda and stir. Add oil and then gradually add flour, stirring well after each addition. Place dough on a floured board and sprinkle more flour on top of dough. Flatten dough by hand to about 1/2-inch thickness and then cut with a biscuit cutter. Spray a 16-inch Dutch oven with non-stick cooking spray and then add a little oil to the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place biscuits in Dutch oven, being careful not to overcrowd them. Top with melted butter and set aside to let rise until wrinkles are gone, about 1 hour. Bake, with coals on the lid, for 25 or 30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water and whisk to combine. Add sugar and whisk until sugar dissolves. Add sifted flour, 2 cups at a time, whisking after each addition to combine. Peel, wash, and cut the raw potato into quarters; add potato to the flour mixture. Place starter in a large, deep bowl, cover it with a towel, and let rest in a warm place overnight. The starter should be made ahead of time, even 3 to 4 days ahead.

Hate pouring excess sourdough starter down the drain? Instead, use it in this biscuit recipe, where it takes the place of buttermilk, adding tang and just a bit of lift. Milk-based starter (yeah, that's a thing) is our preference, but for a delicious and totally dairy-free biscuit, use water-based starter and vegan butter.

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. sugar
1½ cups (188 g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter or vegan butter (preferably Miyoko's), cut into small pieces, plus 2 Tbsp. melted for brushing
1 cup (270 g) sourdough starter discard from a starter fed within the previous 24 hours, room temperature
Flaky sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Stir together baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, sugar, and 1½ cups flour with a fork in a large bowl. Add ½ cup chilled butter and toss with your hands or fork just to coat. Using your fingers, smash butter into flat disks (if you miss a few, it will be fine). Using a pastry cutter or fork, work butter into dry ingredients until shaggy crumbles form (you should have some large pieces, some small pieces, some flat pieces, and some sandy flour).
  • Add sourdough starter and mix gently with fork to incorporate, then fold with your hands just until dough comes together with just a few crumbly pieces in the bottom of the bowl.
  • Transfer dough to a well-floured surface and pat out with your hands until about ½" thick (the shape doesn't matter too much at this point). Fold into thirds as you would a letter to create a rough rectangle. Working from short sides, fold in thirds like a letter again. Pat dough out to a ½"-thick square. Repeat folding process. Pat out dough for a third time to a 1"-thick square-it should feel airy, like a pillow at this point. Using a floured 2½"-diameter biscuit cutter or glass, punch out as many biscuits as you can (do not twist cutter). Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, spacing at least 1" apart.
  • Using your hands, gently press scraps into a rectangle, then fold in half. Pat out to a 1"-thick rectangle and cut out more biscuits. Gather remaining scraps together to form 1 final biscuit (you should have 10 total). Transfer to baking sheet. Brush biscuit tops with 2 Tbsp. melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt if desired
  • Bake biscuits until tall and golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of a biscuit registers 205°F), 12-15 minutes.

Easy biscuits made with sourdough starter. The dough is very easy to use and between waxed paper, does not get too dry or too full of flour. You may put a little butter on the tops after removing from the oven. I double the recipe to make 16 biscuits. I freeze and take out what I need.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your biscuits.
  • Make sure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly. If it's not, your biscuits won't rise properly.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make your biscuits tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the biscuits rise evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overbake the biscuits. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Golden sourdough biscuits are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect sourdough biscuits every time.
