Title: Sourdough Biscuits – The Best Sourdough Discard Recipe
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
– 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
– 1/2 cup sourdough discard
– 2-3 tablespoons cold milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well to ensure the leavening agents are evenly distributed.
3. Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the sourdough discard to the bowl and mix gently to incorporate it into the flour mixture.
5. Gradually add the cold milk, one tablespoon at a time, while gently mixing the dough. Stop adding milk once the dough comes together and holds its shape. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
7. Using a biscuit cutter or a knife, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
8. Gather any dough scraps, gently re-pat them, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used up.
9. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
10. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
These sourdough biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, topped with butter or your favorite jam. They make a wonderful addition to any brunch table or as a tasty snack any time of day. The tangy flavor of the sourdough discard really shines through in these biscuits, adding a unique twist to a classic recipe. We hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy the flaky, buttery goodness of these homemade sourdough biscuits!
