Sourdough Butter Biscuits

The best way to have your biscuits come out perfect, light & fluffy is to use sourdough starter in the ingredients.

Sourdough Butter Biscuits : Makes 6 – 8 biscuits.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/3 cup of real butter — warmed to room temperature
• 1 cup of sourdough starter (matured)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a medium to large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder & salt.
• Cut the butter into the sifted ingredients. I use two butter knives to evenly “cut” the butter through the mixture.
• Fold in your sourdough starter. Mix well.
• Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface.
• Knead together until no longer “sticky”
• Gently roll your dough keeping fairly thick.
• Cut your biscuits out with a biscuit cutter. I use a canning jar ring, regular size.
• Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake for 12 min or until golden brown

This makes some of the lightest biscuits perfect for any side, meal or with jam & butter.

Adding in herbs, garlic, cinnamon or other spices creates wonderful variations as well.

Until next time,
