Time 1h

Yield About 20 2-ounce rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 package (1 generous teaspoon) active dry yeast
2 cups lukewarm water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons soft butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
Sourdough starter from above

Steps:

  • To make the starter, sprinkle the yeast over the water and stir in the sugar. Add the flour and stir to create a loose dough or thick batter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, to age. (We used all the starter for our biscuits. You can double the starter recipe and have some left over to make more biscuits later. It will keep in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days. These are called biscuits, incidentally, not only because they have butter in them but because they contain baking powder in addition to the sourdough starter.)
  • To make the biscuits, mix together the flour, butter, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add the starter and mix well. The mixture will form a fairly sticky dough. Pinch off golf-ball-size pieces (2 ounces each) of the dough and arrange 1-inch apart on a large cookie sheet. Let them proof at room temperature for about 30 to 40 minutes. Place in a 400-degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through and nicely browned.

These biscuits were a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would use less sourdough starter next time.

I've been looking for a good sourdough biscuit recipe for a while now, and this one is definitely it! The biscuits are light and fluffy, with a perfect sourdough tang. I'll be making these again and again.

I was disappointed with these biscuits. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscuits didn't rise very much. They were still tasty, but they weren't as fluffy as I would have liked.

These biscuits were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or milk next time.

I love the tangy flavor of these biscuits. They're perfect for breakfast or brunch, and they're also great for sandwiches. I've even used them to make croutons for salad.

These biscuits were easy to make and turned out great! I used my sourdough starter and followed the recipe exactly. They were so good that I ate two of them right out of the oven.
