Homemade Sourdough Starter Biscuits

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into 1/4" pieces
• 1 cup sourdough starter
• 4-6 tablespoons warm water
• Melted butter

Preparation:

In a large bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With a pastry knife cut butter in until flour resembles small peas. Mix in sourdough starter. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened.  Ingredients should barely bind together. 

Flour your surface and rolling pin.  Gently knead the dough until it is cohesive. Roll the dough to 1/2" thickness. Cut with a floured 2" glass and place onto a baking sheet 1" apart.  Brush with butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 425F then bake the biscuits for 15-20 minutes (until golden brown). Remove from oven and baking sheet to stop the cooking process. Serve warm.
