FIVE STAR SOURDOUGH BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
These biscuits are to die for!!! They are a wonderful, light fluffy biscuit. I had been searching for a biscuit to use my sourdough on and I was not impressed with what I was finding. I had just been to San Fransisco for a holiday and these would rival any bread/biscuit that I had there.

Steps:
- Mix the buttermilk and the sourdough starter and let it sit on the counter until it has come to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Combine the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Mix well. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
- Combine the buttermilk/starter into the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms and it comes away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 30 seconds. Do not over work the mixture (you want to have small pebbles of butter showing.
- With a floured rolling pin, roll out to 1/2" thick. Cut biscuits and place on a lightly greased baking sheet with sides touching. At this point, you can brush the biscuits with melted butter if desired.
- Cover and let rest for 30 minutes in a warm place. Bake in the center of the oven at 425 for 10 - 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Leftovers: The next day, when the biscuits have become soft and have lost their crustiness, run them under the broiler bottom sides first, turn them over and broil the tops until they are crusty again. Serve them with honey and you will think you have died and gone to heaven!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450°F.
- All ingredients should be well chilled.
- In a bowl, add buttermilk to the starter and stir well to break up and dissolve the starter.
- Add the flour to a large, clean bowl and grate the butter into the flour stirring often or cut the butter into small pieces and mix with the flour using a pastry blending tool or a fork. Add the buttermilk mixing in more and more flour until all the flour is involved and the dough is sticky, gummy and on the verge of being "too wet". Add additional buttermilk if needed or flour.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and with flour on your hands make into a very soft dough, sprinkling a little extra self-rising flour over it all as needed until no longer sticky. Try not to work the dough at all or anymore than necessary for it to be consistent throughout. Pat out dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Place on cookie sheet or greased cast iron skillet.
- Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter if desired and serve warm.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the buttermilk and sourdough starter. Using fresh, active ingredients will result in the best-tasting biscuits.
- Make sure the buttermilk and sourdough starter are at room temperature before using. This will help the ingredients combine more easily and result in a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough biscuits. Mix the batter just until it comes together.
- Chill the batter for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the biscuits rise more evenly.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
- Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.
