Sourdough cheddar bay biscuits

INGREDIENTS

Sourdough Cheddar Bay Biscuits

• 21/3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

• 2 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese

• 1/3 cup cold butter

• 1/2 cup sourdough starter (fed or discard)

• 3/4 cup water (or buttermilk)

Garlic Butter Topping

• 2 Tbsp melted butter

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

• 1/4 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Biscuits

1. Prepare a large skillet or baking pan.

2. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, and shredded cheese in a mixing bowl.

3. Use a cheese grater to shred butter or cut cubes of butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter.

4. Add in water and sourdough starter, mixing until combined.

5. Turn dough out on the counter and combine fully with your hands; don't knead.

6. Fold dough in half, then in half again. Do this twice to create layers.

7. Use your hands to gently form a 6x8 rectangle about 1 1/2 inches thick.

8. Cut biscuits out with a biscuit cutter or mason jar lid.

9. When done cutting biscuits, don't combine the excess dough for more cutting. Instead, roll the excess dough into 4 logs to place around the biscuits (I made a flower)

10. Place in the oven and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 16-20 minutes (tops will be golden brown and set).

Garlic Butter Topping

1. While the biscuits are baking, add melted butter, garlic powder, pepper, parsley, and salt in a small bowl, stirring until combined.

2. When biscuits are finished baking, immediately brush them with the garlic butter on the tops and sides until all is used up. Enjoy!
