Sourdough Biscuits (Extra Flaky)
Description
Sourdough Biscuits (Extra Flaky) blend the subtle tang of sourdough starter with a traditional biscuit dough made using all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Grating frozen butter into the dry ingredients ensures the butter is evenly distributed in small flakes, which produces distinct flaky layers during baking. The buttermilk added with the sourdough starter provides moisture and reacts with the baking soda to enhance rise and tenderness.
The dough is rolled out to about 1-2 inches thick then cut into rounds before baking at 450°F until they turn a golden brown color. This high heat helps form a crisp exterior crust while keeping the interior soft and airy. This technique results in biscuits with a light, flaky texture and a subtle sourdough tang.
Serve these biscuits warm to enjoy their full flakiness. They complement breakfast spreads, soups, or can be a base for biscuit sandwiches. Their extra flaky nature makes them stand out from typical soft biscuits, providing a satisfying layered mouthfeel.
