This recipe, and several others like it on the internet, leave out a critical step – what to do with the milk. I finally found one that had that step. First critical step is: The night before mix starter, milk, and 1 cup of flour. Cover and let stand at room temp.

They rose for me, but had no real flavor. I like butter biscuits better than baking soda ones. Other than the coating on the outside, these were flavorless.

I agree with Peggy. They don’t tell you what to do with the milk. I followed the instructions and just started to knead the dough when I realized I had’nt added the milk. I added it and came up with a gooey dough that I kneaded more flour into. They did not rise and looked nothing like the picture. They were’nt tough but not flakey or fluffy.

Tried the recipe this morning as I had the bacon drippings and starter I wanted to use.

Recipe never mentions what to do with the 1 cup of milk…???? I added it in with the sourdough starter but it was way too much liquid for the amount of dry ingredients…so I stopped pouring it into the flour with about 3/4 cup that I poured back into my starter. Added more flour as I kneaded.

Biscuits turned out okay. Bacon fat gave them a nice crusty outside with soft inside. They were great with my homemade wild gooseberry jelly!

Had some leftover starter and was looking for a recipe instead of throwing it out. These sourdough biscuits went perfect with the Beef Barley Soup we had for dinner. Everyone at the table raved about these biscuits! Thanks for sharing.

Looks like the perfect accompaniment to tonight’s chicken dinner. I had some starter in the pantry so now I have biscuits raising on the stove top. Thanks!

Too funny. I would have been a little afraid of the bacon fat too. But I do understand that that is the sort of thing that sometimes really *makes* a recipe. There’s a reason that most people don’t publish the nutritional info. on their recipes!!

I’m back from vacation… so I’ll be visiting your blog again
