Sourdough Biscuits

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
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

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
   • Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
