I’m a tired mama. Between caring for my baby and chasing after my daughter and somehow sneaking in chores along the way, I don’t always have time to maintain my sourdough starter. I keep it in the fridge a lot of the time these days. And I only take it out once a week for a feeding.
But despite fewer feedings, my sourdough starter still needs to be used every few weeks to keep it fresh and active. I like to fall back on my Savory Sourdough Discard Bread whenever I need a loaf because it’s fast and easy to make.
However, on my busiest days, even devoting an hour to making bread sounds like too much. I needed a recipe that let me use up my discard when I had almost no time or energy to bake. These sourdough discard biscuits in butter were my saving grace.
If you had told me a few weeks ago that I could use up an entire cup of sourdough discard in 30 minutes from start to finish, I might not have believed you. But this recipe genuinely comes together in that much time.
My oven preheats for about 10 minutes, and during that time, I can whip the batter together and have it ready to bake before the timer beeps. Once the biscuits are in the oven, they take 20 minutes (tops) to cook.
Better still, these biscuits pair perfectly with thick, country gravy with sausage. So when I need a warm, home cooked meal in 30 minutes, sourdough discard biscuits in butter can save the day. No mess. No fuss. Just flavorful food.
My husband and I can’t get enough of these sourdough discard biscuits in butter. With their flaky top and butter bottom, the biscuits don’t last long in our house.
But what do you think about this recipe? Do you like these biscuits with jam? Are you a fan of more traditional biscuits? If you have suggestions or feedback, please feel free to share your ideas in the comment section below. And don’t forget to leave a star rating!
