📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pre-heat the oven to 425ºF.
2
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk to break up any lumps.
3
Cut the butter into small cubes and pinch it into the dry ingredients with your fingers until the butter cubes break down into crumbs.
½ cup butter (4 ounces)¼ cup buttermilk or milkbutter (melted)2 tablespoons
4
Combine the sourdough starter and buttermilk in a bowl, stirring well to combine.
sourdough starter (230 grams)1 cup
5
Add the buttermilk and starter mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to combine, just until there are no more streaks of dry flour.
6
Turn the mixture out onto a floured surface and press it into a rectangle that is about ¾-inch thick. Fold the dough like you are folding a letter, folding the top of the dough down and the bottom of the dough up. Give the dough a 90º turn and pat it down again into a rectangle about ¾-inch thick. Fold again. Fold the dough over on itself three or four times and press it down one last time.
7
Use a round cutter to cut the dough into circles and place them on a baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for ⏱️ 15 minutes, until they have risen and browned on top.
8
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter and serve warm or cooled to room temperature.
