Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• scant 1/2 teaspoon salt (or 1 tsp kosher salt)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 6 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter, cut in small pieces
• 1 cup cold unfed sourdough starter

Directions

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
• 2. Sift or whisk together well the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
• 3. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with pieces of butter about the size of peas.
• 4. Add the sourdough starter and mix with a spoon until most of the flour is incorporated. Knead the mixture in the bowl a few times until it comes together.
• 5. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface then roll or pat the dough out to about 3/4 thick.
• 6. Cut biscuits, gather scraps, re-roll and cut out one or two more.
• 7. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Place them close together, touching, if you want soft-sided biscuits or space them apart for crisper sides.
• 8. Bake at 425 degrees F for 12-15 minutes, until browning around the edges. If you placed biscuits close together, they will take longer than if they are spaced apart.
