Sourdough Discard Biscuits

I love the simple pleasure of a warm biscuit. The opportunities are endless; you could make it sweet or savory. The biscuit could be the star of the show or a side. I have recently found a love for warm pimento cheese, and I cannot wait to make these biscuits again. Make these biscuits for yourself and see how amazing life can be. What are some of your favorite biscuit toppings?

Ingredients

  • 300g all-purpose flour
  • 113g Unsalted Butter, cold
  • 125g Sourdough Discard
  • 240g Buttermilk
  • 15g Sugar

Add Before Cutting Out:

  • 5g Salt
  • 1 1/2 TSP Baking Powder
  • 1/2 TSP Baking Soda

Let’s Get Cooking

Grate the 113g of cold butter into a large mixing bowl. Add the 300g of flour to the butter. Using a fork mix the flour and butter until they begin to form pea-sized crumbs.

Add in the 125g sourdough discard + 240g buttermilk + 15g sugar. Stir with a stiff spatula until well combined. Cover with a damp towel and let the dough rise on the counter for 10-12 hours.

In the morning/before you cut the dough, mix in 5g salt + 1 1/2 TSP baking powder + 1/2 tsp baking soda. Mix well with your hands.

Preheat the oven to 400F and lightly butter a cast iron skillet.

Flour your counter and turn the dough out onto it. Flour the dough and press it into a 1inch rectangle shape. Cut out the biscuits and arrange in the skillet.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are brown.

Remove and serve.

Made with Love,
