Ingredients

• 366g very active starter
• 159g very cold butter
• 300g flour
• 14g sugar
• 7g salt
• 136g milk

Directions

1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt.

2. Squeeze butter into flour until coated and flour is crumbly.

3. Add starter and milk, stirring until just combined.

4. Be careful not to overwork the dough, or you’ll end up with dense, heavy biscuits.

5. Let rest for 15 minutes.

6. Roll out and fold 4 times, ending with a dough about 3/4 inch thick.

7. Cut into biscuits and lay on sheet pan.

8. Place sheet pan in a warm place. I put mine in the oven with the light on, and place a large cup of boiling water next to it to provide a humid environment.

9. Let biscuits rise for a couple of hours. They won’t double in size, but they will expand.

10. Take biscuits and water out of the oven and preheat to 375

11. Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
