Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare for baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well combined and aerated.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and sourdough discard to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a sticky dough. If the dough is too sticky to handle, you can add a couple of tablespoons of flour, but keep it slightly stickier than traditional biscuit dough for the best texture.
- Incorporate cheese: Fold the shredded cheddar cheese gently into the dough, ensuring it is evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Form biscuits and bake: Using a spoon or scoop, portion out the dough into 12 roughly equal lumps on the prepared baking sheet. They do not need to be perfectly shaped. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Optional finishing touch: After baking, you may brush the warm biscuits with a butter and parsley mixture to add extra flavor and a glossy finish, if desired.
Notes
- Use sourdough discard from your sourdough starter to add tangy flavor and reduce waste.
- Adjust the stickiness of the dough with a little more flour if needed, but keep it relatively sticky for tender biscuits.
- For dairy-free options, substitute cheddar cheese with a vegan cheese alternative.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
- These biscuits freeze well; reheat in the oven for a few minutes to refresh.
