Sourdough Biscuits

Sourdough Biscuits :

This was a staple in the Old West. Most every ingredient was found in the pantry in a time where food spoilage was a problem. I am a fan of buttermilk biscuits on pretty much anything, this is a great way to constantly use your sourdough starter. Having a healthy starter means you are using it and feeding it consistently.
