Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 8 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1 cup sourdough starter discard (unfed)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (more if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in the Butter:
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture.
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the Sourdough Starter and Buttermilk:
- Add the sourdough starter discard and buttermilk to the flour and butter mixture.
- Stir until just combined. If the dough is too dry, add a little more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
- Knead and Roll Out the Dough:
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead the dough gently a few times until it comes together.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut the Biscuits:
- Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
- Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
