Ingredients
No main ingredients listed.
Sourdough Biscuits
- 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cold butter
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup sourdough starter
Sourdough Gravy
- bacon fat
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard
- 2 cup milk
- 4 tbsp butter
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 425°F (428°F).
- 2In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 3Add the grated cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- 4In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and sourdough starter.
- 5Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold the dough over itself until no dry bits remain. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- 6Turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper and gently pat it into a rectangle that is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
- 7Cut the dough into 6-8 squares, pressing straight down with your knife to avoid dragging and to help the layers stay tall and flaky.
- 8Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each biscuit.
- 9Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
- 10While the biscuits are baking, prepare the gravy. Warm the reserved bacon fat in a skillet over medium heat.
- 11In a small bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard and 1 cup of milk until smooth.
- 12Slowly pour the sourdough mixture into the skillet with the warm bacon fat, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- 13Add the second cup of milk to the skillet and continue whisking until the gravy thickens.
- 14Let the gravy bubble for about 1 minute to cook out any raw taste, although the fermented sourdough starter will minimize any floury taste.
- 15Season the gravy with salt and plenty of black pepper to taste.
- 16Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- 17Serve the warm biscuits with the sourdough gravy spooned over the top.
