List of Ingredients



• 1 cup flour
  
• 1/4 tsp. salt
  
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  
• 2 tsp. baking powder
  
• 1/4 cup cold butter, diced in cubes
  
• 1 - 1½ cups sourdough starter, as needed for soft dough
  






Instructions



1. Combine dry ingredients & cut in butter until it looks like coarse meal, with bits of butter about the size of small early peas. (At this point you can store the mixture in the fridge until you get ready for fresh biscuits.)
   
   
2. Once you feed your sourdough starter & it has frothed up well, add a cup of it to the butter/flour mixture and stir until it pulls away from the bowl. It may require more or less than 1 cup, depending on how thick or runny your starter is - just don't make it too sticky & do not overmix.
   
   
3. Now you can either dump it out on the lightly-floured counter, press it out about an inch thick & cut with a good sharp biscuit cutter & place on an ungreased baking sheet (your biscuits will rise higher if you use a sharp cutter and be sure not to twist as you cut). If your preference is for drop biscuits, just drop the dough by spoonfuls on an ungreased baking sheet.
   
   
4. In either case, now bake the little beauties for about 10-12 minutes at 425F, until they're lightly browned.
