Sourdough Discard Drop Biscuits

Sourdough Discard Drop Biscuits are flaky, tender, and easy to make. Made with Sourdough Discard, these biscuits keep their interior while forming a golden brown, crunchy exterior as they bake. Sourdough Discard Drop Biscuits are the perfect complement to any meal.

Allergen Friendly

Sourdough Discard Drop Biscuits were made into an allergy-friendly recipe with a few tweaks. Biscuits are traditionally made with heavy cream, whole milk, or some form of dairy milk. However, with a dairy intolerance, I substituted dairy milk for Oat Milk which is a non-dairy milk. Oat Milk is thicker and has an “oat” taste to it (hence the name). This is also a great substitute for Heavy Cream or Whole Milk as the texture is similar.

Ingredients

• Sourdough Discard (or Sourdough Starter)
• Oat Milk
• Organic, All Purpose Flour
• Baking Powder
• Baking Soda
• Flaky Salt
• Unsalted Butter

Crafting the Perfect Sourdough Discard Drop Biscuit

1. First, preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Next, lightly butter or oil the bottom of a baking dish or Lodge Cast Iron Skillet.
3. Then, in a Bosch Mixer, add the liquid ingredients to the bowl. Turn to a speed 1 and add the flour one cup at a time.
4. Next, once the biscuit dough pulls away from the side of the mixing bowl, turn the mixer off.
5. Then, form a ball of biscuit dough in your hand (approximately 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter), and place it in the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet (or on a baking sheet).
6. Next, bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Finally, remove the biscuits from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, and enjoy!
