Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vinegar

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided

  • ½ cup sourdough starter

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ cup salted butter, melted

Directions

  1. Make buttermilk by combining milk and vinegar in a small bowl. Stir and let sit until slightly thickened and curdled, 5 to 10 minutes.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Place biscuits close together in a greased 9x13-inch pan. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

  5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  6. Melt any remaining butter and brush over biscuits.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Cook's Note:

For pinch off biscuits, do not roll the dough, simply pinch off the biscuits and continue as instructed.
