Categories     Breakfast

Time 12h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold)
1/2 cup sourdough starter discard
1 cup buttermilk (or milk)
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Grate the butter using a cheese grater, into a large mixing bowl. Add the flour and use a bench scraper or a fork to cut the butter into the flour until it forms small, pea-sized crumbles. Add the sourdough starter discard, buttermilk and sugar and stir with a stiff spatula until fully combined. Cover the bowl and let rise on the counter for 10-12 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Combine the salt, baking soda and baking powder in a small bowl and use a fork to combine, making sure there are no lumps. Sprinkle half of the mixture over the dough and work it into the dough with your hands. Sprinkle the second half and continue to work it into the dough until fully combined.
  • Generously flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Flour the top of the dough and use your hands to press it into a rectangle shape that is 1 inch in thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down and pulling straight up. *See notes.
  • Arrange the biscuits in a 12" cast iron skillet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Remove and serve warm.

SOURDOUGH BISCUITS

Hate pouring excess sourdough starter down the drain? Instead, use it in this biscuit recipe, where it takes the place of buttermilk, adding tang and just a bit of lift. Milk-based starter (yeah, that's a thing) is our preference, but for a delicious and totally dairy-free biscuit, use water-based starter and vegan butter.

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. sugar
1½ cups (188 g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter or vegan butter (preferably Miyoko's), cut into small pieces, plus 2 Tbsp. melted for brushing
1 cup (270 g) sourdough starter discard from a starter fed within the previous 24 hours, room temperature
Flaky sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Stir together baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, sugar, and 1½ cups flour with a fork in a large bowl. Add ½ cup chilled butter and toss with your hands or fork just to coat. Using your fingers, smash butter into flat disks (if you miss a few, it will be fine). Using a pastry cutter or fork, work butter into dry ingredients until shaggy crumbles form (you should have some large pieces, some small pieces, some flat pieces, and some sandy flour).
  • Add sourdough starter and mix gently with fork to incorporate, then fold with your hands just until dough comes together with just a few crumbly pieces in the bottom of the bowl.
  • Transfer dough to a well-floured surface and pat out with your hands until about ½" thick (the shape doesn't matter too much at this point). Fold into thirds as you would a letter to create a rough rectangle. Working from short sides, fold in thirds like a letter again. Pat dough out to a ½"-thick square. Repeat folding process. Pat out dough for a third time to a 1"-thick square-it should feel airy, like a pillow at this point. Using a floured 2½"-diameter biscuit cutter or glass, punch out as many biscuits as you can (do not twist cutter). Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, spacing at least 1" apart.
  • Using your hands, gently press scraps into a rectangle, then fold in half. Pat out to a 1"-thick rectangle and cut out more biscuits. Gather remaining scraps together to form 1 final biscuit (you should have 10 total). Transfer to baking sheet. Brush biscuit tops with 2 Tbsp. melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt if desired
  • Bake biscuits until tall and golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of a biscuit registers 205°F), 12-15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Using buttermilk or yogurt in place of regular milk will give your biscuits a tangy, sourdough-like flavor.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will result in tough biscuits.
  • Chilling the dough before baking will help to create flaky layers.
  • For a crispy crust, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.

Conclusion:

These fake sourdough biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make alternative to traditional sourdough biscuits. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create flaky, flavorful biscuits that are perfect for any occasion. So next time you're craving sourdough biscuits, give this recipe a try - you won't be disappointed!
