Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sourdough starter
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
3. Cut cold butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture until pea-sized crumbs form.
4. Stir in sourdough starter and cold buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms.
5. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a rectangle. Fold over 3 to 4 times to create layers.
6. Pat dough to about 1 inch thick and cut biscuits using a sharp cutter without twisting.
7. Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet.
8. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until tall and golden brown.
9. Brush tops with melted butter if desired and serve warm.
Notes
Do not overmix the dough and avoid twisting the cutter to ensure tall, flaky layers.
