Time 1h

Yield About 20 2-ounce rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 package (1 generous teaspoon) active dry yeast
2 cups lukewarm water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons soft butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
Sourdough starter from above

Steps:

  • To make the starter, sprinkle the yeast over the water and stir in the sugar. Add the flour and stir to create a loose dough or thick batter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, to age. (We used all the starter for our biscuits. You can double the starter recipe and have some left over to make more biscuits later. It will keep in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days. These are called biscuits, incidentally, not only because they have butter in them but because they contain baking powder in addition to the sourdough starter.)
  • To make the biscuits, mix together the flour, butter, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add the starter and mix well. The mixture will form a fairly sticky dough. Pinch off golf-ball-size pieces (2 ounces each) of the dough and arrange 1-inch apart on a large cookie sheet. Let them proof at room temperature for about 30 to 40 minutes. Place in a 400-degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through and nicely browned.

I'm really disappointed with this recipe. It's the worst biscuit recipe I've ever tried.

This recipe needs some serious improvement. The biscuits were bland and tasteless.

These biscuits were a waste of time and ingredients. They were so dense and dry, I couldn't even eat them.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits turned out really flat.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscuits didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a bit too dense.

I've tried a lot of sourdough biscuit recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. It's the perfect balance of tangy and sweet.

These biscuits are the perfect combination of tangy and sweet. I love the way the sourdough flavor pairs with the honey butter.

These sourdough biscuits were a hit! They were so light and fluffy, with a perfect golden-brown crust. I loved the tangy flavor from the sourdough starter.
