Buttermilk Sourdough Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Stir together baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, sugar, and 1½ cups flour with a fork in a large bowl. Add ½ cup chilled butter and toss with your hands or fork just to coat. Using your fingers, smash butter into flat disks (if you miss a few, it will be fine). Using a pastry cutter or fork, work butter into dry ingredients until shaggy crumbles form (you should have some large pieces, some small pieces, some flat pieces, and some sandy flour).
• Add sourdough starter and mix gently with fork to incorporate, then fold with your hands just until dough comes together with just a few crumbly pieces in the bottom of the bowl.
• Transfer dough to a well-floured surface and pat out with your hands until about ½" thick (the shape doesn't matter too much at this point). Fold into thirds as you would a letter to create a rough rectangle. Working from short sides, fold in thirds like a letter again. Pat dough out to a ½"-thick square. Repeat folding process. Pat out dough for a third time to a 1"-thick square-it should feel airy, like a pillow at this point. Using a floured 2½"-diameter biscuit cutter or glass, punch out as many biscuits as you can (do not twist cutter). Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, spacing at least 1" apart.
• Using your hands, gently press scraps into a rectangle, then fold in half. Pat out to a 1"-thick rectangle and cut out more biscuits. Gather remaining scraps together to form 1 final biscuit (you should have 10 total). Transfer to baking sheet. Brush biscuit tops with 2 Tbsp. melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt if desired
• Bake biscuits until tall and golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of a biscuit registers 205°F), 12-15 minutes.

Steps:

• Make buttermilk by combining milk and vinegar in a small bowl. Stir and let sit until slightly thickened and curdled, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Mix 1 cup flour, sourdough starter, and buttermilk together in a large, non-reactive bowl. Cover and let dough sit in a warm place, 8 hours to overnight.
• Add 1 cup flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda to the dough; knead lightly until well mixed. Turn dough out onto a work surface that has been sprinkled with remaining 1/2 cup flour. Roll or pat dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Dip a biscuit cutter into melted butter and cut out biscuits. Reserve any remaining butter.
• Place biscuits close together in a greased 9x13-inch pan. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt any remaining butter and brush over biscuits.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Mix the buttermilk and the sourdough starter and let it sit on the counter until it has come to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 425.
• Combine the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Mix well. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
• Combine the buttermilk/starter into the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms and it comes away from the sides of the bowl.
• Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 30 seconds. Do not over work the mixture (you want to have small pebbles of butter showing.
• With a floured rolling pin, roll out to 1/2" thick. Cut biscuits and place on a lightly greased baking sheet with sides touching. At this point, you can brush the biscuits with melted butter if desired.
• Cover and let rest for 30 minutes in a warm place. Bake in the center of the oven at 425 for 10 - 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
• Leftovers: The next day, when the biscuits have become soft and have lost their crustiness, run them under the broiler bottom sides first, turn them over and broil the tops until they are crusty again. Serve them with honey and you will think you have died and gone to heaven!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine Sourdough Starter and buttermilk; stir into crumb mixture with a fork until dough forms a ball. , Turn onto a well-floured surface; knead 10-12 times. Roll to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. , Bake at 425° until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Brush with melted butter. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
