My grandma makes these every time we go over for dinner. I got my starter from her, so I too make these every couple weeks when I need to use up some starter. They are really fast and easy, and taste delicious right out of the oven.

Tips:

  • Use an active sourdough starter. Your starter should be bubbly and active, with a sour smell.
  • Make sure all of your ingredients are cold. This will help the biscuits to rise properly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Handle the dough as little as possible. The more you handle it, the tougher the biscuits will be.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or jam.

Conclusion:

These sourdough biscuits are a delicious and easy way to use up your sourdough starter. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
