Report

Use up your “discarded” starter in these EPIC biscuits! With that sourdough tang, these biscuits are so flaky, so buttery + so so good.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
Grate butter using the large holes of a box grater. Stir into the flour mixture.
In a medium bowl, whisk together sourdough starter and buttermilk. Add to the flour mixture and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 2-3 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 1 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Cut out 8-10 rounds using a 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter.
Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake for 14-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm.
