Last week for Sourdough Saturday we gave you recipes for Sourdough and Cornbread Stuffing, but today it is Sourdough Biscuits. After just an hour of research, I found dozens of ways to make Sourdough biscuits and dinner rolls for Thanksgiving, but today I have just chosen one.
Thanksgiving Sourdough Biscuits (#sourdough4thanksgiving)
Butter topped sourdough biscuits are are a hit at holiday parties; I made 48 so I had to expand this recipe quite a bit
These “wonderful, towering, light and fluffy biscuits may become your favorite sourdough biscuit recipe,” writes Bonnie but she suggests, “Just be sure to plan ahead to start the night before.”
If there are any leftovers, they are good split and toasted in a sandwich toaster for breakfast. They also make an incredible base for biscuits and gravy.
