KAREN'S SOURDOUGH BISCUITS
Easy biscuits made with sourdough starter. The dough is very easy to use and between waxed paper, does not get too dry or too full of flour. You may put a little butter on the tops after removing from the oven. I double the recipe to make 16 biscuits. I freeze and take out what I need.

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.
