Cheddar Sourdough Slab Biscuits.

We love these sourdough slab biscuits! Fluffy, tender and tangy made with sourdough discard and sharp cheddar cheese. These are great for a holiday meal or even for a weeknight dinner. Delish!

I’ve got your bread for Thanksgiving!! 

These sourdough slab biscuits just might be my new favorite thing. They are tender and fluffy and have a perfect crumb, all with that tangy, classic sourdough flavor!

I mean, just look at these little biscuit clouds.

I use sourdough discard for this recipe, so it does require that you have an active sourdough starter on hand.  

I’ve had my sourdough starter going for over a year now and I can’t believe it. I mostly have to thank this sourhouse home that I purchased last year because it has made a huge difference. I’m a freak who likes to keep our house COLD and it was never warm enough to maintain a good starter. This has removed that problem and it’s totally worth it. 

Not to mention, it’s a cute little sourdough house. I love it! 

By no means am I even close to a sourdough expert. I don’t feel comfortable creating my own recipes for bread or anything yet, but I do make a ton of recipes with sourdough discard! In fact, I maintain a slightly larger starter just so we can have discard every week because I use it so often. Pancakes, waffles, pizza dough, even cookies – I love using it! 

I started my starter (ha!) with ½ cup flour and ½ cup water. I only use KAF organic bread flour. For about 2 weeks, every 24 hours I would discard half of the starter and add ½ cup flour and ½ cup water, then cover and repeat a day later. 

These days, I feed my starter morning and night (it is so active and bubbly!) – using 90 grams water, 30 grams starter and 90 grams flour. A kitchen scale is an absolute MUST for a good starter. I starter measuring in grams two weeks after I began, when my starter was beginning to bubble. 

P.S. you can also buy a good sourdough starter!!! I know a ton of people who have done this. But I still suggest getting a sourdough home and a kitchen scale to maintain it. (more…)
