Warm, buttery biscuits are a delicious addition to breakfast or brunch, either topped with butter and jam or with some homemade sausage gravy.

How to Make Easy Sourdough Drop Biscuits

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium size mixing bowl, stir together dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.

Stir together dry ingredients, then grate in cold butter.

Grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients, then stir until coarse crumbs form.

Mix grated butter into dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form.

Mix in the sourdough discard, then the milk a little at a time until the dough comes together. The dough will be a bit lumpy and sticky.

Scoop the dough by large tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until just turning golden brown around the edges.
