Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  3. Grate butter using the large holes of a box grater. Stir into the flour mixture.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake for 14-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm.
