Sourdough Biscuits

These impressive sourdough biscuits are great with any meal. They are moist and light with the perfect sourdough taste.

Before you begin you will need to refresh your starter the day before.

Sift together twice:

2 3/4 Cups flour

1 Tablespoon sugar

2 Tablespoons dry milk

1 Teaspoon salt

1 Teaspoon baking powder

1 Tablespoon baking powder

Cut into dry ingredients:

1/3 Cup butter

It should resemble cornmeal once you have cut in your butter.

Next add:

2 Cups freshened starter

Mix well. Place the ball onto a heavily floured surface and knead gently until the dough is smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Roll dough about 1 inch thick. Fold in half and roll again to 1 inch. Repeat this process for 3 or 4 more times. This will give your biscuits a "flaky" texture. Flour your surface as needed to keep the dough from sticking.

Cut out the biscuits and place on an ungreased pan.

If desired, brush the tops with melted butter. Let stand covered for 30 minutes to rest.

These are one of our favorite biscuits,

especially drizzled with honey.

Well this will be my last sourdough entry for awhile. The family tells me it is time to move on so I will just set it in the refrigerator and let it hibernate until next month. Until then I think I will share some of our favorite main dishes made from whole wheat.

Enjoy!
