Flaky 5-ingredient Sourdough Discard Biscuits*
  1. Whisk together the sourdough starter and egg until well blended.

  2. Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.

  3. Grate the frozen butter and mix it into the flour with your hands, gently coating the butter with flour. Add cheese if you’re feeling fancy!

  4. Make a little well in the flour mix and pour in the starter mixture. Use a spatula to gently stir until just combined.

  5. Knead the dough lightly for about 10 seconds. Don’t overdo it!

  6. Roll the dough out to about ½ inch thick. Here’s a fun tip: do an envelope fold with the dough to create those lovely layers!

  7. Roll out the folded dough to a ¾ inch thickness.

  8. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out your biscuits, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  9. Pop them in the freezer while you preheat your oven to 450°F.

  10. Sprinkle some cheese on top before baking if you’re using it. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until they turn golden brown.

  11. Let them cool on a wire rack, and then enjoy every flaky bite!
