Sourdough Buttermilk Biscuits
AuthorTeresaAdd all of the ingredients together in bowl 1 and then stir the ingredients well.
Then cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients of bowl 1, with your hands, until the butter has only small pieces left - about the size of a pea.
Mix together the sourdough starter and the cold buttermilk in bowl 2. Stir well to incorporate.
Now add the wet ingredients of bowl 2 to the dry ingredients of bowl 1.
With a fork, toss the dry and wet ingredients together until you are able to form a ball of dough.
Take the ball of dough from the bowl and place it on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle some flour over the dough and then gently knead the dough together about three times. Just enough to have a nicely formed dough ball.
Using some dusting flour, roll or pat the dough out into a circle of dough about 1 inch thick. Using a round 3 inch cutter cut about 10 biscuits.
Place on an oiled sheet pan. Then use a roll cutter to make a nice design on the top. I cut all the way through to the bottom.
Brush melted butter on top of each biscuit liberally. Sprinkle with coarse baking sugar crystals.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 425F/218C for about 12-15 minutes.
Serve immediately with butter, jam, jelly, honey or your favorite topping.
