Sourdough Drop Biscuits

We’re making Sourdough Drop Biscuits today! And I couldn’t be more excited about this recipe because it uses sourdough discard (aka mature sourdough starter).

I didn’t make sourdough bread for an entire week because I was down with the flu…so I had so much mature stater. It was sooo mature. 🙂 I popped my starter jar in the fridge for a while and brought it back out only to see that it was too full to revitalize by feeding it so I HAD to discard and make something with it right away!

Enter sourdough drop biscuits! I found this yummy sourdough biscuits recipe at Love and Olive Oil and it looked super fantastic. But, I’ll be honest. I’m not a roll-out-the-dough-and-cut-the-circles kind of gal. So, I made mine into drop biscuits. And they’re still great! And (to me) way easier. So, win!

I love biscuits and I haven’t made them in a while, but these are so easy I’ll definitely be making them again. Especially if I slack on my sourdough bread again. Which, let’s be honest, is bound to happen again.

I found a really great every day sourdough sandwich bread recently thought that I totally love. It’s actually an English Muffin Bread and I’ve converted it to a Sourdough-English Muffin Bread. It’s baked in a loaf pan, so it’s great for sandwiches. It’s was a little on the crumbly side at first, so I worked on that, but it’s a so great and turns out delicious every time!

I absolutely love it and promise to post about it soon. For now, check out these delicious sourdough drop biscuits. The original recipe asks that you brush a little melted butter on top of the biscuit dough before you pop them in the oven to make them golden brown. I skipped that step as well, but go for it if you want your drop biscuits to be extra beautiful.

Me, I just want them tasty.

These were absolutely delicious and a great texture. For whatever reason, they tasted a little like garlic biscuits even though they didn’t have garlic in them. Maybe all the butter just makes your brain imagine garlic. They’re a tad on the crumbly side when they first come out of the oven, but that gets better when they cool.

I look forward to experimenting with these biscuits and maybe adding in some cheese and garlic in the next round!

Sourdough Drop Biscuits

Ingredients

281g (2 1/4 cups) flour (I use gluten-free)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

85g (6 tablespoons) butter, cold and cut into cubes (or, frozen and shredded with a food processor)

250g (1 cup) mature sourdough starter, chilled

1/3 cup whole milk, more or less as needed

Sourdough Drop Biscuits Pan

Method

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lightly butter the bottom of a 10-inch cast iron skillet or prepare a baking sheet with a silpat.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.

Add cold cubed (or frozen shredded) butter.

If cold cubed, cut in with a pastry blender or two knives until butter forms pea-sized pieces coated in flour. If shredded, simply fold in until coated in flour.

Add sourdough starter and 2 tablespoons of milk.

Mix with a fork until dough comes together into a shaggy dough. Add more milk if the dough is too dry. I added about 1/3 cup.

Knead the dough in the bowl and incorporate any crumbs, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Divide the dough into 10-12 equal balls and drop onto baking pan or into greased skillet. Biscuits should be about 2 inches wide.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Serve warm with butter.
