Description

These quick sourdough discard biscuits are fluffy, flavorful, and adaptable, perfect for using sourdough leftovers in a comforting dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently fold in the sourdough discard and milk until everything is just combined.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  6. Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have risen beautifully.
  8. Serve warm with butter or jam!

Notes

Chill your ingredients beforehand for flakier biscuits. You can freeze unbaked biscuits and bake them directly from frozen.
