Ingredients
  

Biscuits

  • 2 ½ cups organic white flour, or flour of choice
  • 8 tbsp grass-fed butter, cut in cubes
  • 1 cup sourdough starter, active or discard work
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 2 tsp baking powder, (if you are not using active starter)
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp raw milk

Garlic + Chives Butter

  • 1/2 cup grass-fed butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives
  • 4 cloves garlic, diced/crushed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl add the flour and the butter. Using a bench scraper or a fork cut the butter into the flour, until it resembles large peas. Add the sourdough starter, buttermilk, spices, and cheese. Mix well with your hands, making sure there is no flower left in the bottom of the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a cloth and allow to ferment overnight (8-10 hours).
    In the morning, preheat the oven to 375º F (190º C) and grease a 9x13" casserole with butter.
    Lightly flour* the counter and turn out the dough. Pat the dough out into a large rectangle. If you did not use active sourdough starter, you can sprinkle the baking powder over the dough and fold to incorporate. The dough should be about 1 1/2 inches thick. Using a cookie cutter or glass (floured), cut out the biscuits, being careful not to twist or the biscuits may not rise as high. Place the biscuits in the casserole/pan about 1/2 inch apart.
    Whisk the egg and the milk together well and then brush the tops of the biscuits. Bake the biscuits for about 20 minutes until golden. Remove and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
    While the biscuits are baking melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small pan. Sauté the chives and the garlic. Add the salt and pepper. Add the rest of the butter and stir until melted on low heat.
    Serve the biscuits warm with melted butter on top! Delish!
