Ingredients
✓ 2 ¼ cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
✓ 2 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder
✓ 1 teaspoon kosher salt
✓ ½ cup (1 stick or 113 grams) unsalted butter, very cold, cubed
✓ ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons buttermilk, cold, divided
✓ ½ cup (113 grams) sourdough starter discard
✓ 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
✓ Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
✓ Mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
✓ Stir in buttermilk, sourdough discard, and honey; mix just combined.
✓ Turn dough out onto a floured surface, knead gently for 2 minutes, roll into a rectangle, cut with biscuit cutter, place on baking sheet, bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Do not overmix the dough; ensure butter is very cold to create flakiness. Use buttermilk and sourdough starter for best results.
