GRANDMA'S SOURDOUGH BISCUITS
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.

GRANDMA'S SOURDOUGH BREAD
This is a recipe from an old cookbook. I only have a few pages left so I can't say what the cookbook was called or where it came from. I found the pages glued to cardstock in the pages of a binder which belonged to my grandmother. I made this bread for the first time a year ago. It makes a wonderful loaf of bread, tastes like REAL sourdough to me. It has beer in it (the brand with rocky mountain water in it) and it takes a nice flavor from the beer. I hope everyone likes it as much as I do ! I have also posted the starter recipe. ENJOY!!!!!!

Tips:
- Use fresh sourdough starter. Sourdough starter is a living culture, and it needs to be fed regularly to stay active. If your starter is not fresh, it will not produce enough gas to leaven the biscuits properly.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If the dough is too cold, it will not rise properly. If the dough is too hot, it will overproof and become too sour.
- Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. The ideal temperature for baking biscuits is 450 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help the biscuits to rise quickly and evenly.
- Serve the biscuits warm. Sourdough biscuits are best served warm out of the oven. They can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.
Conclusion:
Sourdough biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, I encourage you to give this sourdough biscuit recipe a try. You might be surprised at how easy it is to make these delicious treats.
