Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well to ensure the leavening agents are evenly distributed.
-
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.
-
Add the sourdough discard to the bowl and mix gently to incorporate it into the flour mixture.
-
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.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
-
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.
-
Gather any dough scraps, gently re-pat them, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used up.
-
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
-
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
