Time 2h50m

Yield about 2 ½ dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup warm water (100°F to 110°F)
1 (¼-oz.) pkg. active dry yeast (2 ¼ tsp.)
1 teaspoon plus 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar, divided
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons table salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup cold salted butter, cubed
½ cup shortening, cubed
2 cups whole buttermilk
¼ cup butter, melted and divided

Steps:

  • Stir together warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a small bowl. Let stand 5 minutes.
  • Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl; cut cold butter and shortening into flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 forks until crumbly. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; chill at least 2 hours or up to 5 days.

Gently roll to 1⁄2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch round cutter. Reroll remaining scraps, and cut with cutter. Place rounds with sides touching in a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet or on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. (If using a 10-inch skillet, place remaining biscuits on a baking sheet.) Brush biscuits with 2 Tbsp. of the melted butter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh sourdough starter: Active and bubbly sourdough starter is essential for light and fluffy biscuits. If your starter is sluggish, feed it a few times before using it in this recipe.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will result in tough biscuits. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to develop the flavor and makes it easier to work with. If you're short on time, you can skip this step, but your biscuits won't be as flaky.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits to rise quickly and evenly. Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the biscuits.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: Freshly baked sourdough angel biscuits are best served warm. You can slather them with butter, jam, or honey.

Conclusion:

Sourdough angel biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. They're perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these fluffy and flavorful biscuits at home.
