Success! {Recipe: Cheddar Chive Sourdough Biscuits)

It's been about 8 months since I started my venture into sourdough and, other than my father-in-laws pancake recipe, I've had very little success baking with it; that is until I tried these Cheddar Chive Sourdough Biscuits. So far I have tried pizza crust, English muffins, plain sourdough biscuits, and muffins. All were fine, but not great. These Cheddar Chive Sourdough Biscuits are fantastic! I have yet to try bread because of the time needed to make it, I hope to try my hand at it soon. 

Cheddar Chive Sourdough Biscuits

This recipe is adapted from a one found @leelalicious.com.

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 chopped chives
1/2 cup sourdough starter
2-4 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line baking sheet with parchment or silicone liner; set aside.

2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles wet sand.

3. Stir in cheddar cheese and chives. Gently stir in sourdough starter with a fork. If dough still looks dry, add milk a tablespoon at a time, until a soft dough is formed. 

4. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead a 3-5 turns. Flatten dough and cut into 10-12 biscuits using a knife or biscuit cutter. 

5. Place cut biscuits onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Enjoy!
