Sourdough Refrigerator Biscuits

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

2. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the sourdough starter and milk. Stir well to mix the two ingredients thoroughly.

4. Pour the sourdough mixture into the flour and butter mixture. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently combine the ingredients until a sticky dough forms.

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently for about a minute, just until it comes together and is no longer sticky.

6. Pat the dough into a rectangle that is about 1/2 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass dipped in flour, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.

7. Once you have cut out all the biscuits, cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the biscuits to chill for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.

8. When you are ready to bake the biscuits, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and uncover the biscuits.

9. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

10. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these Sourdough Refrigerator Biscuits warm with a pat of butter and your favorite jam or honey.
