Easy Tasty Sourdough Buttermilk Biscuits Recipes

EASY, TASTY SOURDOUGH BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• All ingredients should be well chilled.
• In a bowl, add buttermilk to the starter and stir well to break up and dissolve the starter.
• Add the flour to a large, clean bowl and grate the butter into the flour stirring often or cut the butter into small pieces and mix with the flour using a pastry blending tool or a fork. Add the buttermilk mixing in more and more flour until all the flour is involved and the dough is sticky, gummy and on the verge of being "too wet". Add additional buttermilk if needed or flour.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and with flour on your hands make into a very soft dough, sprinkling a little extra self-rising flour over it all as needed until no longer sticky. Try not to work the dough at all or anymore than necessary for it to be consistent throughout. Pat out dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
• Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Place on cookie sheet or greased cast iron skillet.
• Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter if desired and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Grate butter using the large holes of a box grater. Stir into the flour mixture. In a medium bowl, whisk together sourdough starter and buttermilk. Add to the flour mixture and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms. Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 2-3 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 1 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Cut out 8-10 rounds using a 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake for 14-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

• Cover and let rest for 30 minutes in a warm place. Bake in the center of the oven at 425 for 10 - 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
• Leftovers: The next day, when the biscuits have become soft and have lost their crustiness, run them under the broiler bottom sides first, turn them over and broil the tops until they are crusty again. Serve them with honey and you will think you have died and gone to heaven!
