Sourdough Biscuits ~ Sourdough Starter Discard

[@RandeT73]

When I started my sourdough started a couple of months ago, I didn't throw out any discard, I fed it like I did what was kept. By the end of a week with 1 rye starter and 1 wheat starter, I had an 8 quart canister almost completely full. When it was time for it to rest in the fridge and do the weekly feeds, I froze those 8 quarts of mixed rye and wheat discards. I did use some in a pancake batter and OMG the BEST pancakes ever.

Great recipe like to see the starter recipe

[@simplefaithanddaisies]

I love as many starter recipes as you can give because I am impatient and don't have time to let things rise, so this is great!! Thank you! It was super simple to make this morning. Delicious! I forgot to say we put ours in a medium iron skillet and that helped them puff up a little more being against each other. (for 7 biscuits just use 1/4 cup more starter and flour and 1 more tbsp butter.

I can’t wait for your sour dough starter video. These look great. 🥰

[@a.worley396]

Love how you use your hands and don't get technical. Looks so easy can't wait to try these.

[@sharonlatour6230]

Doing this tomorrow! YUM!! Thank you!

[@margaretmorris9561]

I just made them to have with our spit pea soup. They were just what you said...easy and delicious. Very buttery. Thanks.

[@grannaboo03]

Oh my goodness, my mouth was watering when you were tasting that delicious looking biscuit.

[@delvitalouisejackson3031]

Very nice thank you

[@sonyareeder7855]

Thanks... was just wondering what to do with my discard.

[@sagehollow3349]

I need to make those. I could hear the crunch when you bit into it. Now I’m hungry!!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

😂😂 yes, you need them in your life

[@sherrybraungard1749]

Thank you

[@brookes1606]

So I only had non established sourdough starter discard and I actually had just fed it 2 hours before seeing this video. Made them anyway and they turned out perfect!! Thanks for sharing this recipe! 😋

[@diannalynnYT]

Will be making these! New to sourdough baking and bread making in general. I always made drop biscuits. These don't seem complicated at all. Thank you.

[@brucecamire8533]

Love simple recipes for discard, thank you

[@graphene1487]

fluff then scoop. Great tip! Will try this recipe!

[@adrianascottschmitt]

I made these today and they came out amazing. Thank you so much!

[@coachxkelly3362]

Wow.. Thanks for sharing this quick easy recipe.

[@sallywright2217]

I am thinking of making some biscuits this weekend. I save my discard and let it build up in a separate container and bake about once a week. Thankyou for the video.

[@lindajenkins3950]

Thanks for this video! I can't wait to make these. Yesterday I made granola that had sour dough discard in the recipe, very yummy, you'd never know it was in the granola it disappeared when it was baked.

[@bethrichardson5998]

gold stars for you.. looks very yummy

[@debbiealtman4572]

Sour dough biscuits sure look delicious. TFS.

[@AG-im2pb]

Delicious, thank you for recommending the recipe from the link that you have provided and thank you for sharing your video!

[@pms1953]

Waiting for the starter video. Can’t wait.

[@questforagarden9699]

I can't wait to try these! I was just thinking I need a go to discard recipe. Thanks!

[@tdewtx]

This time I made a sourdough starter from the Elliot Homestead. It is a tacky starter you don't have to keep feeding, you keep in the fridge, and feed a small portion 5 hours before you want to use it. You should check it out. You might fall in love with it like I have.

[@SusanDDuncan]

Thank you so much! I had a recipe with buttermilk (which I could never use enough before expiration) and proofing time. This is so much faster!! I'm subscribing!

[@angethomas]

Thank you!! I get their emails and texts and somehow missed this from their website. I'm so thankful cuz now I can make them tomorrow.

[@vnlindsay]

My biscuits were awesome!

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

When I kept sourdough starter I never tossed the "discard" I simply made extra items which I gave away to elderly neighbors or families with children. I also made lots that I froze and accumulated so when I had about 10 to 15 items I'd take it to the senior citizen center so they could each have an extra treat.

[@XSETCLIXFAN]

Mine didnt rise, I'm not sure if my discard was too heavy or maybe a case of old baking powder ☹️. They still taste great just more like sourdough cookies hahaha

[@SunflowersandDIYing]

Can u freeze them before baking or just wait till after they are baked? I am going try these tomorrow. They look absolutely fabulous. 🌻😋🤤

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

You can freeze before baking

[@lucythomas4077]

So your yeast is feed? Thought it was the discarded part. I’m confused. Can’t wait for your video on how to make the starter.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

We are using unfed discard which doesn’t have enough power to make dough rise. Discard recipes and some that use fed starter will also include a small amount of commercial yeast as well. 😊

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Recipes that use only starter for rising power will have a long rise time. Check out the link to King Arthur Baking and read their blog. It will help you further understand using sourdough starter 😊

[@adashofgratitude7268]

[@jenarbios]

Do we have this in grams?

[@SoldiersWifeHooah]

For the sourdough discard, do you jeep the discard so you have it for recipes like this? Like keep it in a jar and not feed it until you are ready to use it?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

You can but I usually just use it when I feed my starter

[@mereteraanes2904]

Greetings from Norway ❤I’m wondering what kind of butter you use in this recipe. Do you use salted butter or non-salted butter? Have a nice day and stay safe 🙏🏻

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

I always use salted bc that’s what I have on hand

[@celestehenderson149]

Should you use white lily flour with biscuits? And can these be frozen and then cook as needed? To store up for weekends?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

You do not need to use lily flour and yes these can be frozen

[@lizbaxter1143]

Are using regular flour not unbleached

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

I always use King Arthur unleashed AP flour

[@tomicawilliams1618]

Hello carol!!! I would like to know if it would be okay if I freeze these biscuits until later once I cut them out?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes absolutely! Hope I’m not too late in responding 😊

[@Farmerbettyboop2]

I do have a question. I have been trying very unsuccessfully to get a sourdough starter started. So I have some discard in the fridge. So since my dough never became active, is this a SD discard or just flour and water ? Tks much

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Discard from my starter. Just flour and water will not work

[@Farmerbettyboop2]

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 thank you. I guess I just have flour and water that I need to throw away

[@lisaw414]

I’ve made your biscuits a few times. Mine are good but dense. They don’t rise like yours did. What would I be doing wrong? I used my discard straight from the fridge. Is that ok?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Always let your starter warm to room temp and bubble up before using.

[@ellenmacklin4986]

Can you freeze them before baking?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes 😊

[@ellenmacklin4986]

Thank you 😊

[@rosemarybrando5625]

Is the sourdough discard fresh or has it been sitting in the refrigerator for a few days?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

I always use fresh then I feed the rest of my starter

[@rosemarybrando5625]

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 great! Thank you...can't wait to make them

[@rhondamadsen8848]

Question on the starter, right now I’m discarding a 1/2 cup of my starter but this recipe calls for 1 cup. So do I save 1/2 cup from today and 1/2 cup from tomorrow in order to get 1 cup? Gary won’t be ready until Monday probably.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Once he’s really active you should feed 1/2 cup and have about 1 cup of discard. If you’re not there yet, save 1/2 cup today and 1/2 cup tomorrow. 😊

[@nobracobra]

mmmmm...

[@daddymoon666]

I'm going to try this but add.........Roasted NM Hatch Green Chile, Extra Sharp Cheddar, Bacon and Butter Milk... I'm salivating right now...
