Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Fresh Milled Soft White Flour
  • 2 cups Organic All-purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 Sticks of Unsalted Butter
  • 1/4 tsp Pink Himalayn Salt
  • 1/2 cup Sourdough Starter
  • 1-1 1/2 cups Buttermilk

Instructions
 

  • Start by combining the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  • Add the butter and cut it in using a pastry cutter. It must be really cold and cutinto bite-sized or pea size pieces.
  • Stir in the egg, then add the sourdough starter and buttermilk.
  • The dough will be sticky. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • In the morning, grab your iron skillet and line with parchment paper.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Take some flour and spread it out on your counter. Remove the dough from the fridge and grab your rolling pin.
  • Roll out the dough and take your biscuit cutter and cut them into 1" thick circles.
  • Place them in the iron skillet or a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes. Once they are golden brown, they are done.

Notes

Note: This recipe makes approximately 12-14 biscuits.
  1. Start with 1 cup of buttermilk. If the flour mixture is a little dry, then add in the other 1/2 cup of buttermilk. 
  2. If you use all-purpose flour, use 4 cups of flour. I just split mine because I'm using different flours. Einkorn flour is also a great flour to use.
  3. Lining your skillet or baking dish, will help the bottom of the biscuits from burning.
 
*I freeze 1/2 the recipe for later baking. Go ahead and cut the biscuits. Lay them on a cookie sheet and pop them in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. Once they are firm, put whatever amount you want in either a ziplock bag or a glass container and stick them back in the freezer. You can pull out 1 or 2 at a time and it makes it really convenient. Good in the freezer for 3 months.
