Sour Dough Biscuits

Sour Dough Biscuits

Works best if starter is fed within the previous 12 hours.  Makes 18 biscuits.

6  TB cool butter or solid coconut oil

2  ½ c. whole wheat pastry flour or 2 ¾ c. spelt flour (flour must not be warm from    grinding)

½ c. sourdough starter

¾ + cup milk or water

Cut fat into flour.  Mix with starter and milk to make dough that is just wet enough to hold together.  (Do not over work dough.)  Cover.  Let sit 5 to 8 hours at room temperature or in fridge if room is very warm.

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.  Mix into dough the following:

½ - ¾  tsp. sea salt

1 ½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. to 2 tsp. honey or sugar

Roll dough on floured surface.  Cut out biscuits.  Bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes or until golden brown
