Sourdough Discard Biscuits
This sourdough discard recipe is easy to make with just a few ingredients, flour, sourdough discard, baking powder, butter, buttermilk, sugar, and salt.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 240 grams
- 1 teaspoon salt 6 grams
- 1/4 cup of buttermilk 110 grams or milk
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 75 grams

- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar 10 grams
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 410°F (210°C), and set the rack to middle positions.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Add the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder into mixing with the paddle attachment and mix on slow for 2 minutes.
- Spoon in the butter and mix at low speed until a crumble texture is achieved, about 3 minutes.
