Add flour to the butter.
Cut butter into flour; I usually just use my hands to massage the flour and butter together until it starts to form a ball.
Add 1 cup of fed sourdough starter.
Add honey and stir until nicely incorporated.
Place a clean tea towel over bowl and allow to sit at room temperature at least 8-24 hours. This is based on your level of tolerance to gluten and also your taste preference. The longer it sits out, the more sour it will get. If you have a gluten sensitivity, try to ferment these biscuits for 24 hours.
The next day, add baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the fermented dough
Mix everything together well. I like to use my fingers
Roll out biscuits onto a lightly floured surface and cut. I like to use an antique measuring cup, but you could also use a mason jar, or anything round.
Place onto a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a glass baking dish. This is just like the sourdough peach cobbler recipe.
For a little added height, you can allow the biscuits to rise again for 30 minutes to an hour in a warm place before baking.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 14 -20 minutes.
Don’t forget to feed your starter 4-8 hours before making this recipe.
*Fed sourdough starter is a sourdough starter that has been given equal parts water and flour, mixed, and allowed to sit at room temperature at least 4-12 hours.
Long-fermented sourdough helps break down the phytic acid and the gluten even more. Those who are sensitive to gluten may be able to tolerate sourdough products that have been fermented for 24 hours. It also adds a depth of flavor that you can not get from a store without going to an artisan bakery.
