Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 c. flour
  • 1/2 c. 1 stick chilled butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 c. sourdough starter discard from a starter fed within the last 24 hours.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl stir together the baking powder, salt, sugar, and
    flour.
  • Add the chilled butter pieces and use your fingers to smash the butter into the flour. The dough will resemble pebbled sand.
  • Add the sourdough starter to the bowl and mix gently to combine. Do not overmix, just mix until the dough comes together.
  • Transfer the dough to a well floured surface and pat it out to 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Fold the dough into thirds like a letter to create a rectangle. Turn the dough 90 degrees and fold it into thirds again. Turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat the tri-fold.
  • Pat the dough out to 1 inch thickness and then cut out rounds using a 2 or 3 inch biscuit cutter. Place on the parchment lined baking sheet at least 1 inch apart.
  • Bake biscuits until gold brown, about 12-15 minutes.
