Wild Yeast (Sourdough) Biscuits
- Sponge
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Biscuit Dough
- 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Night Before:
- Mix together the sponge ingredients, stirring well in a nonmetal bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap (I place a shower cap over my bowl) and set aside until mix is bubbly, about 12 hours.
- To Make Biscuits:
- Melt butter and stir in sugar until well blended.
- Add all remaining ingredients to the sponge and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until elastic or until bounces back when poked.
- Let rise in a warm spot until double in bulk.
- Punch down dough, knead lightly a few times to get the remaining gass out.
- Pat out the dough until 1/2 inch thick and cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter.
- Place on a well-greased cookie sheet and let rise again until double in bulk.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
