Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sea salt, and baking soda.
  2. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles course crumbs.
  3. Now add the sourdough starter and the buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until the dough forms a ball.
  4. You may need to adjust the flour or milk depending on how thin your starter is.
  5. Turn the dough onto a well floured surface and knead 5-10 times. Don’t over knead the dough or it will become tough. And who wants tough biscuits?
  6. Now gently roll or pat the dough out to 1/2 inch thickness.
  7. Cut into rounds with a floured biscuit cutter. Or you could just cut it into squares if you wanted to.
  8. Place the biscuits about 2 inches apart on a buttered baking sheet.
  9. Now gently brush the tops with melted butter.
  10. Bake these lovely discs of buttery amazingness at 425°F for 12-15 minutes or until they are a beautiful golden brown.
