Description
These Sourdough Biscuits are buttery, flakey and delicious!! Using far less butter than normal biscuits but still fantastic!
Ingredients
Night Before:
1 cup active sourdough starter
2 cups milk (use whole milk or buttermilk)
1/4 cup butter or margarine melted
2 cups all-purpose flour
Mix the above ingredients together. Don’t pour melted butter in while still hot, let cool to warm.
Cover with saran wrap but leave opening on sides so batter can breathe. Let sit overnight.
In the morning combine:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
Mix the above dry ingredients and add to wet mixture from night before. Add enough flour that you can get it onto a well floured surface and knead but leave it a little sticky inside.
Roll to 1/2 inch thick, cut out and place on a greased baking sheet. This makes about 20 large biscuits.
Bake at 400* for 18 to 20 minutes. These are wonderful leftover and put in microwave for 20 seconds with butter and honey or use them in a recipe for bread pudding.
