Sourdough Butter Biscuits

sourdoughbutterbiscuits

There are few things better than a loaf of warm homemade bread fresh from the oven. Fresh biscuits from the oven might be one of them.

Having recently fallen in love with whole wheat sourdough, I have been actively trying new recipes in my kitchen. This recipe for sourdough biscuits is from Wardeh Harmon’s  The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Fermenting Foods. I can’t recommend this book enough. I use it all the time in my kitchen. It has recipes for so many sorts of fermented foods besides sourdough, including recipes for fermented ketchup, pickled cucumbers, simple cheeses, yogurt, kombucha and much, much more.

This recipe for sourdough biscuits is one of many I use regularly out of Harmon’s book.

Hope you enjoy these biscuits as much as our family does. I find these biscuits taste wonderful simply by themselves, with butter and honey, or with sausage gravy. However you eat them, you won’t be sorry you did.

They have become a regularly baked good in our home and everyone who tries them wants a copy of the recipe!
